    You can tell how enthusiastic he was about this opportunity because he never once had his script! He was so excited to be in this show and prove himself as a Musical star in addition to being a comedian that he made sure he had everything memorized! Such passion; I love it!

      @@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067 Encores Off-Center shows are prepped with about a week of rehearsals. So it’s standard for the actors to keep a script at their side just in case they need it, due to the lack of prep time. So, this shows that he spent a LOT of time outside of rehearsals getting comfortable enough to not need it.

    People who don't like this interpretation need to realise the stage musical has a more chilled, 1960's, "Leader of the Pack" vibe to this song. Whereas Steve Martin was really exaggerated and goofy but it's not actually supposed to be like that in the actual musical, it's kinda more slow and chilled and smooth.

    He's very Biff Tannen in this version.
    But he subtly shows more cruelty in this version than even Martin's. Look at the way he practically sexually assaults the girls while singing Dentist. (Perhaps playing on the sexual and maybe even racial attitudes of the early 60's that sometimes these toxic masculine white men had that women of color were theirs for the taking.)
    Also the colder way he says "Somebody talking to you." He's doing the whole 'abusers don't always act abusive in public" approach. They save it for people that they think are weaker than them.

    Something's a bit off with Taran. I think he has too much of a babyface to be the dentist. Doesn't have the sadistic look that Steve Martin gave off in the movie. He's definitely one of the better dentists that's been on stage but gotta work on that laugh. No where near as wild as Douglas Sills dentist laugh.
