Ask a Star: Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis of "Porgy and Bess"

[@SongbirdAlom]

10/10 would watch Audra as Javert.

[@crazyguy98456978]

Norm: If you could play any of Norm's role, which would it be and why? Audra: Ooo, That's a good question. Norm: Do you know my career? Audra: I- Oh shut up! I know your career

[@michaelgabrielraphael9554]

9:40...Yes Norm Lewis is SEXY! When he smiles and his eyes just like "shine", especially! Love ya NORM!!!

[@northofborder2560]

To K C (don't know why I can't reply directly to your post) : Norm's shirt is probably inside out because it must have had a logo on it and the video makers didn't want to give the company free publicity.

[@sipiwe]

So cute! His shirt is on inside out, but I still love them both.

[@kholden434]

Saw the show in Boston and loved them both... and Otto Pizza is really good too.

[@jhc18823]

LMAO! I feed them the peanut M&Ms. Wow, Audra. Wow.

[@IAMCOACHKING]

Saw the show on Broadway- love...love...Love the voice of Norm Lewis and equally enjoy Audra- I've been a Fan of Norm Lewis since "SIDE SHOW" (Jake)....

[@HikariDragonRyuu]

This could have been twenty minutes longer and I would've been fine.

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

screaming at my computer screen freaking out!

[@Roxy21698]

Actually, Taye Diggs is best known for playing Sam Bennett on ABC's Private Practice (Audra Mcdonald played his ex-wife) and/or movies roles in How Stella Got her Groove Back, Brown Sugar, The Best Man, and The Wood, etc. He is very popular outside of the Broadway World.

[@BroadwaySongbird27]

hope you enjoyed...aksin a star! lol they are the best

[@alycegumley]

russel said in an interview that he did not like norm lewis as javert at all. which i think is CRAZY because norm is my favourite javert of ALL TIME.

[@lucyfoster4082]

Russel really is a dick isn't he

[@uniqueroque356]

A little late but I need to see this interview. The audacity to say that!

[@MyMrjag]

this amazing guys Javert was absolutly out of this world

[@lisafs0902]

Norm Lewis is my favorite Javert, and he is a role model.

[@zn23000]

I love Norm!!!

[@cbyrd211]

you would think they are married lol

[@tntbandit5]

+Prince Byrd Nah, I get the bff vibe! Either way, they were great 2gether, hope they get to do something else together on Broadway!

[@Poet2916]

I think Norm should play the wolf in Into The Woods.

[@imstilleatingabagel]

dream cast.

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

[@sublimeandcoke]

[@ElphabaThropp512]

[@athaydemotta]

Aren't they the best-looking people ever?

[@roryfroggy321]

why is Norm's shirt inside out?

[@lisafs0902]

Ok, slightly random, but DID ANYONE FREAK WHEN AUDRA SUNG AT THE TONYS? Oh man, her voice is simply magical.

[@lienkelini]

they're adorable :)

[@ivanathompson9624]

I want Norm Lewis to play Hades in Hadestown

[@awwyeahme2]

audra's boots?

[@CherryFairy02]

So, did Audra boost her performance as Bess by imagining that "Happy Dust" is code for pizza?

[@dondearborn8699]

after seeing p and b, on 4th of july,,,,,,,,,, wow,,,,,,,,,,i will be at the last show,,,,,,,,sho want to kiss porgy and bess and staff,,,,,,,,,,,the best gift to me in my life,,,,,never forget that trip! sarah v, is smiling u guys!

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

omg didnt even realise that until i read ur coment

[@catherinejoystockley3691]

They have to be the most fun people ever ... I want to go get some of that killer pizza with them and hang out ... aka let Audra serenade us while me and Norm make out ... LOL

[@lucyfoster4082]

lol

[@carjam49]

Such a cute interview. I wonder who Norm is more like, Porgy or Javert. He should have played Javert in the movie. It would have been magnificent instead of merely adequate. Norm is more talented than Russell Crowe, and would have brought an intensity and sympathy to the character that Crowe lacked. It was idiotic not to use Norm in that movie. Both male leads were tepid, but I have the 25th Anniversary DVD of Les Miserables. I watch it a lot.

[@ABAvery6]

2:21-2:34!!

[@broadwaymaniac92]

girl i loved you in camisole!

[@fkfkfkl09505]

I wanna be her :)

[@rocknroll20024]

Edison go back to Olivia

[@kinglaurac]

lowkey sick that they asked a sondheim song after all the unnecessary drama he caused for them…

[@divinechocolat3469]

he's such a sight to watch 😍😘😉🤤

[@lucyfoster4082]

The body language is not good...Audra really seems to want to distance herself from Norm, what is up with this?
