Posted: 2/25/06 at 7:36pmI was just revisitng the Bat Boy days, and I came to the conclusion that I liked Sean McCourt's voice better in Wicked as Elphaba's Father than his major role in Bat Boy as Dr. Thomas Parker. I haven't seen Bat Boy staged like I have Wicked, but I have listened to both recordings numerous times. Any feedback

That's quite an insult. I think he's great on the Bat Boy recording.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 7:59pmHe doesn't show off his voice in Wicked, at all. He's Dr. Dillamond, for crying out loud. That gives no leeway for a voice. Plus, his part as the witch's father is about 20 seconds long.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 8:04pmI saw Sean McCourt in Bat boy, and he was perfection. It's too bad you feel that way about his voice. he's wonderful.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 8:06pmI have to buy the Bat Boy recording. I like his voice, but I feel like Wicked is a waste of it.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 9:23pmBuy it! I have nothing to add to this conversation but my undying love of Bat Boy...
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

Posted: 2/25/06 at 9:23pmSean McCourt is just beyond talented, in my opinion.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 9:30pmSean McCourt is a great actor, but whenever I hear him sing, he always sounds like he's straining and/or trying so hard to hit any high notes. It's one thing that's always turned me off about his singing.

He was in great voice when I saw him in Bat Boy (more than once, so it wasn't just a fluke). He was also hilariously funny in the role of Dr. Parker. I adore him. Really nice guy, too.
You should buy his solo CD to really hear his voice. He actually reminds me a lot of James Taylor on that disc. So if you don't like Mr. Taylor, you might not like an entire CD of Mr. McCourt.

i think he is fantastic. He was awesome as the Wizard during Kristen and Norbert's last performance.
