Posted October 20, 201212 yr hey everyone found this video of the press call for Chicago with Darius and America Ferrera, I am sure we havent seen this one before and its a really good one http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xm6voq_ch...ondon_lifestyle
July 29, 201311 yr Just watched it, thanks. Great interview with both of them. Those few weeks were what he did instead of South Pacific in London and the UK tour, which would have let his loyal fans around the UK see what a great all round entertainer he is. MT lets him weave together seamlessly his charisma, personality, singing, acting, dancing and something he'll need for Warden, the more difficult skill of revealing aspects of the character when he has no dialogue, song or action. This is the Emile the UK got instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XcxdZImsWQ Singing - he has the edge on Darius - has to, because he's a trained opera singer with the New York Met. Accent - all over the place. Darius would have had that nailed early and sustained it for as long as necessary. Acting - movements too big, clunky almost. Darius is a much more subtle and natural actor. Dancing - passable - compare that waltz with Darius and Katherine in the middle of Brindisi - so elegant, much more fitting for the sophisticated and exotic Emile. I would have loved/would love to hear Darius sing This Nearly Was Mine - such a wonderfully emotional song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drv-NgfLtNw Some day.............

July 29, 201311 yr Great interview mm, trouble is I automatically replace every chap on stage who is the lead with dark hair with Darius - I can't comment I am too biased, but the chap didn't have any charisma to me Edited July 29, 201311 yr by prettyinpink
July 29, 201311 yr Darius would have been great for that part. This Nearly Was Mine sung by Darius would really be something special! We can but hope. Sue
