    I love that Colin Donnell (at least from this angle) looks more than a bit like a youthful Stephen J. Sondheim. I've adored Mr. Miranda and Miss Keenan-Bolger for awhile now, and am glad to be introduced to Mr. Donnell. Wish I coulda seen this.

    So much talent in one video! I admit that when I heard some of the songs, I thought that Lin-Manuel Miranda sounds a bit like Anthony Rapp

      Danish Nerdess Check out John Barrowman who played the elder Merlyn. Also a London West End and Broadway musical guy.

    • @DanishNerdess
      @DanishNerdess 7 років тому +1

      Oh, believe me - I know John Barrowman! *shakes fist* BARROWMAN!!! I first knew of him in Doctor Who and Torchwood. Talented guy!

    • @DanishNerdess
      @DanishNerdess 7 років тому +1

      Also, have you seen Barrowman in Putting it Together? It's a review-like show of some of Sondheim's greatest songs in a way that makes it almost a play in itself. Also stars Carol Burnett, George Hearn (one of my favorite Broadway actors and my favorite Sweeney Todd) and Ruthie Henshall. It's on DVD and def worth a purchase!
