Yes. Norm would make a fantastic, fantastic Phantom. I can only imagine how beautiful his "Music of the Night" would be, and how simultaneously chilling and heartbreaking his Final Lair would be.
So blessed to be a part of the ragtime production! I was a member of the choir, but I wished I would have watched this video first so I could have called him Worm in rehearsals!! Does anyone know if a cast album is going to be released?
I've always wanted them to bring Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame to Broadway, and I want Norm to play Frollo. I think that would be amazing. Him singing "Hellfire" would be incredible.
There is a production of Annie coming out with Q. Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) playing the title role. I saw Audra McDonald in it before as Daddy Warbucks' secretary. It would be awesome if she reprised that role and he was Daddy Warbucks.
when he was on scandal, i found him so hard to hate, his character was so horrible and not the guy liv was suppose to end up with but, cause its norm lewis you cant hate him
I saw him play Phantom on Broadway and stage doored him after, he was literally the nicest sweetest guy I've ever met!
Oh my god, the "Thank you...worm" story was hilarious. Paul Wontorek's interviews are always amazing.
Following Phantom, I want to see Norm take on The Beast in Beauty and the Beast. He would nail it.
because he's black?
He is my favorite actor of all time. If they revived The Music Man and cast him, I'd die of happiness.

Haha...and now he will be playing the Phantom (with Sierra!) starting on May 12 on Broadway!
Thank you
Worm
I'd LOVE to see Norm as the Phantom. Please let it happen, Phantom-Gods!
Norm is easily one of the most talented men on broadway, and one of the best Javerts of all time.

The second actor to play The Phantom was African American. :)
Wild Party is amazing and it is sad that It wasn't as successful as it deserved to be!
Enough. Lets campaign to get Norm in Phantom.
Norm is so interesting... One of the best guys on Broadway. :3
Norm- I think I'm cute
Paul- AHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Never saw him until Les Miz 25th Anniversary special. Thought he was British. He's cool.
He's so appropriate to play the role of Javert
Love Norm!
6:04 yup!
What a handsome dude.

I think there should be an african american actor playing the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera.
Everytime I see him I see Javert
I want to meet him.
Cute and charming? True
Let him answer to Javert!

"Give her a bit of the Norm-ness."
Norm!!!
I don't see why not, unless in the songs or script the character is actually described as a certain race it should not matter :)
he got his wish =)
You can say black actor, we don't have any problems with that :)
I REALLY LOVE THIS GUY....VERY TALENTED.....BUT, HE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG COSBY
