Pinky and I first saw Norm Lewis in the Actors' Fund "Chess" and "Hair" benefit concerts and heard his voice on the "Side Show" cast recording. Only Norm could have played God in the "Children of Eden" concert. I watched the Les Miz revival mainly to see his Javert. He will be playing King Triton in the upcoming "The Little Mermaid", opening 03 November. (Thanks to color-blind casting.) Needless to say we have tickets to see Disney's newest Broadway show already. Initial reviews haven't been favorable but because I love the movie that inspired the musical, I'm sure I will not be disappointed.
If you haven't heard him sing, here's Norm and the inimitable Seth Rudetsky at the latter's Broadway 101 Master Class.
