What show recently impressed you?
I was a fan of the Follies revival. It had a fantastic cast (including the wonderful Susan Watson of the York concert that I just appeared in — The Show Goes On), and one of the biggest highlights was the classic baritone of Ron Raines. Listening to his rich, resonant sound renewed my belief in what musical-theatre singing can be.

What production are you most excited to see?
I'm hoping that Giant finds a home in New York, and not just because my wife (Kate Baldwin) has been involved with it. I saw the show in Dallas and loved it. It's a sweeping story that has been elegantly honed by Michael Greif into an important piece of theatre. Michael John LaChuisa's songs are sublime and Sybille Pearson's book is sharp and honest.

What play/musical would you most like to revive on Broadway, and which role would you want to play?
My dream role is Sweeney Todd. Vengeance, madness, and Sondheim's menacing score — what more could a performer ask for?

What are your current/upcoming projects?
I'm looking forward to playing Trevor Graydon in Thoroughly Modern Millie at the St. Louis Muny in June. It's the first show of Mike Isaacson's inaugural season as executive producer, and it's being directed by my talented friend Marc Bruni.

I also hope to continue taking "large steps" in director Jessica Stone's all-male A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The production premiered at the Williamstown Theater Festival and had a rollicking presentation in New York City last month hosted by The Roundabout Theatre Company. I'm optimistic the show will have a life in New York. ***
