His voice melts me!!

Same❤

[@gnemec768]

Not only is he an amazing actor and singer, but he can also play piano really well while singing without looking at the piano. This man is amazing!

[@magnetpi99]

He is multi-talented!!!! And who knows, maybe he can really play the piano off stage; just not well enough to handle ragtime during a live performance. Still, I love watching him perform.

[@greysonholste]

You do realize he's not really playing piano here, right?

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

Engaging, powerful, and exquisite in the same breath. The art of humanity on the highest level.

[@raykilroy1950]

Wow, he dances, too. The complete entertainer.

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

I only knew him as Hillary's news anchor boyfriend of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Thank God for this lovely rabbit hole I've fallen down on TH-cam. He is amazing ❤

Best musical to show empathy. Wish it would be revived

[@PapaLobo94]

It was revived on Broadway back in 2009, but it didn’t have that similar magic that the original production had

[@solosaloon1959]

[@dafnimbus]

[@sophisticatedmm3632]

Impeccable

[@angelacentonzevanbrunt8498]

Very talented man and very handsome

[@travilicious]

How did he not win a Tony for this role?

[@PapaLobo94]

Alan Cumming apparently did a better job as the Emcee in the revival of “Cabaret”
