| Alistair Brammer's...voice has a tone that I found off-putting, and his acting is wooden. I never saw Simon Bowman in the original production, but I still can't stand listening to him on the recording. What is it about casting this role? |

| I saw Jarrod Emick go on as an understudy Chris way back in the day, and he was the only one I’ve ever seen who made the role truly work. (And I’ve seen it a shameful number of times.) | |

| Is about as perfect a 'type' as you can imagine for Chris, and I think he was well cast in the DAMN YANKEES revival (for which he won a Tony Award), but... Why, God... why are all his vowels so screwy?!? I don't KNOW that he has no formal vocal training, but if he had a voice teacher that let him get away with those vowels, it's a tragedy of its own epic proportions. - GMB, who is reminded that Steven Pasquale also has no formal voice training, and has a weird eeeu diphthongs when he sings "you." |

| Maybe it comes from being South Dakotan. [Kidding, South Dakotans. :)] |

| Well, I taught Voice and Articulation for two years in Kearney, Nebraska (an hour or so south of the Dakota border), and I always said it took the first half of the course to convince the students they had a front section of their mouth, so you may be on to something! | |
