i saw this second night of previews on broadway in 2001. amazing. broderick was out sick that night, his understudy was fine, lane was amazing, and mel and bancroft were in the audience. saw it again a week or two later with broderick. many times later... always a treat. when those old ladies came out at the end of act 1 i just about peed my pants. the audience -- as you can imagine -- were absolutely beside themselves.
Please, please, please, don't think that I am picking on Lee Evans. I saw him live twice and I think he is absolutely brilliant. However, I am just proving my point, that without too much effort, I was able to find many reviews disliking his vocal performance, not one, though, disliking his character or comedy. Lee Evans is not a trained singer. Hopefully you see I love Lee Evans and he is a brilliant performer who just carries a tune.
I saw Lee three times including the matinee on his last day, and he just got better every time I saw him. I think Reece sounds a bit like Matthew Broderick actually.
No it isnt Lee evans, Its Reece Shearsmith,Lee was in the original london production and was fantastic, seen both of them play leo bloom and i also saw peter kay in manchester,and seeing itin birmingham also with joe paswuale, and i reacon he will be great.
But if your comparing Reece to Lee singing wise, you gotta remeber Lee Evans is a singer, as fars i know reece can sing but isnt a singer! Lee evans was as amazing as Reece in my opinion.
hahaha lee evans is not a singer i dont know where u got that from. did u not read the interview where he said the reason he didnt want to do a cast recording was because he didnt feel his voice was strong enough? also did u see it? cuz i did, and he was not perfect at singing, though, absolutly brillant with the part, but no, not a singer.
I think considering Reece isn't a trained dancer or singer he did an amazing job - he's funny!
I LOVE REECE!

Whos Playing Leo in this?
definitely Reece not Lee, altho they were both great x
I don't see how this is "toe-curling" in the embarrassment stakes. It's just bunch of people doing their job. And doing it well actually.

Singers pitch is way off sometimes. I don't even know who he is, but I'm a big fan of The Producers.
hahaha
