In the early 90's I was a theater obsessed college student who would see all of the shows that came through Detroit (or further afield in MI, if necessary.)
The Dickon in the touring cast of The Secret Garden stood out as absolutely amazing to me....I thoroughly enjoyed the whole show, but came away thinking he was destined for big things. My best friend and I almost never did the stage door thing, but thought about it just to meet him.
A year or two later, the tour of Tommy came through. I didn't love the show, but was completely struck by Cousin Kevin's performance. It wasn't until I got home that I realized it was the same performer catching my eye both times.
The next I heard of him, Roger Bart was playing Snoopy and nominated for a Tony. |
