The MANn

Warning, my broadway nerd is about to manifest itself...
Ok do you ever hear a voice that captures you fancy immediately? A voice that is low and powerful? A voice that is low but still manages to belt out high last notes? A voice that makes a character come alive? This my friends is my HERO Terrence Mann. He is a broadway star that has played 3 very important and demanding roles: Javert from Les Miserables, Chauvelin from Scarlet Pimpernel and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. I am flat out in love with his voice. In fact I wish I had his voice (I know it is a weird ambition since I am a girl)! It gives me this chills when I hear him sing. He is truly amazing!

Javert...
The Beast...

Chauvelin...
