Neil Patrick Harris was so great as Tobias!
my only complaint was that he didn't really have any blocking for "Not While I'm Around", so he kind of just stood there and moved his arms awkwardly. But that wasn't his fault, probably the director's.
but damn, that man can SING!
he was great.
did u like him better with or without the wig? personally, i like him better without the wig.
so he kind of just stood there and moved his arms awkwardly.
I Loved Neil in this, I'd seen the original stage version and really didn't like it, I have no idea why cos I love the film version, but seeing neil in this version made it so great for me to watch, man that guy has some powerful lungs

I love the stage version too. George Hearn & Angela Lansbury were GREAT.
It's strange, when I watched the stage version for the first time, I saw tobias and thought "sometimes, the way he acts / looks, it reminds me of NPH". So I looked on IMDB and found out that he DID play the part in this version.
That is why I bought it :)
He is by far the best Toby. I thought the awkward blocking for "Not While I'm Around" was perfect for that point in the play. I did have a problem with his limp, which was more like a skip.
Idiots are fun. No wonder every village wants one.
but damn, that man can SING!
