Musicals

[Anniemouse]

Has Jason ever mentioned any musicals that he would have loved to have appeared in?

Given that Jason has said he can't sing, it seems unlikely!

It would be different in the old days of Hollywood when some actors/actresses were often dubbed by singers, mainly uncredited. Marni Nixon is nowadays well known as having sung for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, & Audrey Hepburn for most of My Fair Lady. She is one of the singing nuns in The Sound of Music.

These days eveyone sings their own bit, however bad they are (Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia, anyone?)

I was just wondering if he had ever mentioned any specific musicals that he enjoyed. I know he saw Hamilton.

Verona is a musical he'll be in, but he said he isn't singing in it.

And as for his singing - it's not bad. If he stopped avoiding it and put some effort in practicing, he could improve, because he definitely has a voice, hearing abilities and a rythm.

Didn't he turn down a part in Guys and Dolls on the West End, because he doesn't think he can sing well enough?

Some music teacher in primary school really hurt this boy...

[Anniemouse]

Was that the production that Ewan McGregor appeared in?

[Anniemouse]

He could do My Fair lady as Rex Harrison's performace was not exactly singing based. Their must be others like that.
