Warlow has the most beautiful, flawless, powerful voice of ANY musical theater male performer in the industry. What a gift and what a joy. Such a shame he has not come to the Great White Way.
Not sure if the link is still working (it isn't for me, but it might be working in the US - it just says it's barred for my country [Australia]). But I think it's a good time to bump the topic. Still my favourite performance of BRING HIM HOME.
You do all know Anthony Warlow is on Broadway right now in Annie ! Saw him in the Australian production last year and he is wonderful ! Looking forward to seeing him in in on Broadway when I come over next month, go see him and support one of the best Musical theatre stars to come out of Australia ! :)
OMG, that duet with Philip Quast is just magnificent!!!!!!!
Performances like that remind me why I love the fine art of acting through song so much.
Imagine that 2 performers of this calibre played Valjean and Javert in the Les Miserables movie. That would bring a quality to the film that no one in human history has ever seen or heard. Now THAT would make the film successful and epic.
If you listen carefully to all the nuances in emotion and placements of the words and notes from beginning to end you will have to conclude JOJ is better.
You can like Colms voice more, but that is a matter of taste.
It's a shame his glorious voice isn't in a better vehicle than Annie--but at least it got him to Broadway and there should be concerts etc.to gain him more recognition before '????' starring Anthony Warlow. If you get the chance--watch more of that concert with Anthony/John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John.
I see that his CD available via Amazon, but does anyone know if you can purchase songs on like ITUNES, etc? $40.00 for the one CD is kind of expensive. I looked and found nothing to purchase MP3 of him, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction to do so.
