Mr. Beach’s last Broadway role was as Thénardier, the crooked innkeeper, in the 2006 revival of “Les Misérables,” which in its first incarnation had run for 6,680 performances over 16 years. In his interview with Ms. Acker, he joked about how he got that part.
“My agent called and said, ‘Tara Rubin’ — who’s a big casting director in New York City — ‘wants to know if you’d like to be part of the most popular musical in the world,’” Mr. Beach recalled. “And I said, ‘Is there something for me in “Mamma Mia!”?’” |
