"somewhat more conventional musical theater singers like Hugh Jackman, Patrick Wilson and Joshua Henry -- each of whom have a vocal timbre which is beautiful, but not nearly as big and round -- sound just fine to a modern ear."
I don't think Hugh Jackman has a beautiful timbre at all. I'm not alone in this, as I've seen other criticisms in this regard; his voice is both nasal and throaty at times, but he does have great presence otherwise and looks good moving, as he did when playing Peter Allen. He'll be fine in "Music Man" because it's a reasonably easy sing, unlike Jean Valjean which was something of a trial to listen to, though he came off better in that film because he still sounded better than Russell Crowe. Patrick Wilson has a fine voice, though stylistically he screwed up a few numbers in the traditional musical style of "Tenderloin" going for a modern "yelly" kind of big note after having been right on target for most of the songs. I don't know Henry's voice enough to comment upon it. |
