| When I saw it that performance it went far beyond "flirting with the audience." As far as I could tell he played the whole thing straight out to the audience with little or no eye contact with anyone on stage (or plausible interaction with other "characters"). It was an energetic performance, but he was in his own bubble up there. It found it creepy. | |

| I agree. The added choreography for him in "Dancin" was his best moment. It was an one dimensional performance way over the top with only one facial expression. Wide eyed and wide smiled. I hope he finds his way with the role because right now he appears somewhat dimwitted and not pleasing to watch. Naturally talented just misses with his take on Barnaby. | |

| I wonder if that's due to a lack of rehearsal process? I have heard people say similar things of Peters and Garber and the new Minnie, whose name escapes me(that the performances aren't quite there yet), and it makes me wonder how much rehearsal they got and if Jerry Zaks was part of the process at all. | |

| Zaks definitely worked with Peters and Garber. I don't know about Stemp or Griggs. Carlyle must have worked with Stemp. There was at least one sitzprobe and there were rehearsals of the major production numbers. However, for all I know, Saturday night may have been, for all intents and purposes, the dress rehearsal. | |
