After seeing the very likable Stamos give one of the worst performances I have EVER seen on a musical stage in the revival of Bye Bye Birdie several years ago -- it was so bad that I actually felt sorry for him because he does really seem like a nice guy -- I don't know why anyone would get excited about the possibility of seeing him in a show that by all accounts is atrociously bad, at least per the majority of critics and participants in this board.

In his defense, he was terrific in The Best Man a few years later.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
I don't know how this ever happened because I tend not to like to see replacements but somehow or other I saw Mr. Stamos in Nine and Cabaret and I couldn't believe it but I liked him very much in both shows!
If that's the case, I don't like it. Stamos can be OK in the right role but he's not a Willy Wonka. And in that flawed show, it's barely passable when someone like Borle is elevating the entire operation
I'm currently in a production of CATCF (the play), and while I know they're not completely similar, neither stand out in any good way. John should use his talents elsewhere

Which didn't have any singing and dancing, the latter of which was mind-bogglingly bad.

Does Wonka have to dance though? Genuinely asking, as I haven't seen the show. I've never seen him live in a singing role, but I've heard bootleg audios of him in about 6 different musicals, and he's always sounded good to me. He's not pavarotti, but singing isn't a challenge for him.

CATCF???"
Charlie. And. The. Chocolate. Factory. What can I say, typing out 29 words is exhausting
