I always found it weird when the Phantom would call Raoul insolent boy and the Raoul was obviously older than him.

I want to be sure that if people are coming to a show and paying $100 that I want to give them their money's worth. I try to give 100 percent.

The three roles that I have always admired are Valjean, Phantom and Jesus and I've enjoyed them all so much.

As far as entertainers, I know I'll sound like a cliché but they don't make 'em, like they use to. Barbra Streisand is one of them, also Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. The first theater voice I heard on a record was Ethel Merman and again, they just don't make them like that anymore.

What I have noticed which I'm not nuts about that the trend that a lot of shows are hiring the American Idol type of talent without real training and real technique and I think that audiences are smart and sometimes seeing that things are not as high caliber as they were before.

I think there is an evolving art taking place on Broadway.
