I have seen as Krolock one time and since that time a big fan of him. He was a great actor. His voice was the best I ever heard!

Have you seen him in any show?

I only saw him in "Tanz der Vampire" in Vienna. I was to young to see him in any other shows and to drive to German.

Yes,I did. He was in PHANTOM as Rauol, then also he briefly played THE PHANTOM as well, & I saw him in that role as well

Just a beautiful voice

That's true!

I only have the CD with him as Raoul and it is really great.

I'm sorry for my mistakes, but it is long time ago that I wrote something in English.

Your English is FINE

I was just in Germany & wish I was well versed in the German Language. I saw "MIZ" sung in German, I LOVED it

I know Steve worked a lot in Europe, I wish he had been here in NY a bit more. It was interesting seeing him play THE PHANTOM after having seen him play Raoul so often

I must log off, it was nice chatting....we must chat some more maybe tomorrow.....that would be WUNDERBAR

I remember the show as being average . Not great but not bad. The Red Shoes ballet is now a permanent part of some ballet companies reportory. Barton had a few songs but sang the hell out of them as I recall.The last Jule Styne show ( I believe ) & never recorded . The lyrics were by Bob Merrill under an alias Paul Stryker . Another Styne score never recorded was " Look To The Lillies" . As I recall, there was a ton of music written for it with much being thrown out during previews. Originally was to be a vehicle for Sammy Davis Jr who wanted the than unheard of sum of $ 10 K a week. It would have ran with him & Shirley Booth in it. Al Freeman Jr was not a draw & was, from what I understand making a pain in the you know what out of himself during the rehearsal & preview period.
