I'm a huge Sylvester fan. I'm interested in the show but I know I'll be disappointed if they don't use his voice.

Jane-I saw this last summer and it was AMAZING. I'm planning on going back. Anthony Wayne is absolutely incredible-he has a gorgeous voice. I'm hoping this launches him into the stardom he deserves. He's very gifted with a lovely voice and incredible stage presence.

did his voice sound anything like Sylvester's?

[dreaming]

I thought it was very, very close. Is it exactly the same? NO. But, he really is terrific and captures the essence of Sylvester beautifully. His voice is quite close (IMO, he sure sounds more like Sylvester than Jessie Muller does Carole King).

I would love to see this. I am such a fan. But I wonder if it has been too for this to have legs.

Sylvester was so much more than a "glittery disco star".
