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.
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).
