If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.
Our guest this episode is Norm Lewis
Norm is known primarily for being the first black actor to play the Phantom on Broadway and for playing Inspector Javert in the 25th anniversary Les Miz concert but he’s done way way more than just those two roles, including screen appearances in Scandal, Law and Order, Blue Bloods, Sex and the City, Da 5 Bloods, Gotham and leading theatre roles in Sweeney Todd, Jesus Christ Superstar, Ragtime, Tommy, Side Show, The Wild Party, The Little Mermaid and Porgy and Bess for which he received a Tony nomination!
Apologies for the slightly annoying background noises (ie the humming noise and the clicks) but it was a hot day in New York and Norm had his aircon on during the recording session...Soz.
