I honestly think if Seth sat down and focused, he could write and star in a Tony winning musical that could run for years.

[@SardonicALLY]

I definitely agree he could write or co-write and produce a musical, but I think he is too busy to star in a show. If Family Guy ended he could do it.

[@griefingg0lem685]

@@SardonicALLY He really wants to be off of Family Guy at this point, but imagine if he was able to at least take a break to make his own "The Book of Mormon" or some other big musical where he could just show off his talents.

[@reverendterminator]

absolutely! he already made so many musical numbers on family guy.

[@autumnasdfghjkl]

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone can do it, I have 100% faith Seth could top The Book of Mormon easy

[@Boredchinchilla]

John O’Rourke he definitely has wit and a super sharp mind. He does showtunes and has a great Xmas album, then on the opposite end of the spectrum he has songs like the pop tart song, “The Frickin FCC” and “Downs syndrome girl”- all of which are well written songs.

[@karlpiepenburg3157]

He's the only one I've ever seen who could do this song almost as well as Robert Preston

[@christianbaxter3546]

Maybe Eric McCormack. He was a far better Harold than I expected. But Seth is neck and neck with Preston.

[@rperlberg]

This is one of the things I love about Family Guy. MacFarlane is obviously a voracious consumer and lover of popular culture and crams as many references as he can into every episode. He could probably do a spot-on impression of Robert Preston if he wanted to, but he seems to be trying to avoid that, but his performance is obviously informed by Preston's.

[@msminmichigan]

Definitely better than Matthew Broderick.

[@MissCaraMint]

He sure is channeling Preston.

As much as I love Hugh Jackman, this man right here should have been Broadway's newest Harold Hill.

[@goldilox369]

[@cathynewyork7918]

Hugh Jackman did a good job, but you should go back and watch the first version of this song, in the 1962 movie "The Music Man" - watch how Robert Preston did this song. Great job, with MORE "personality" than Seth McFarlane did it here. The movie clip is on KZbin, if you want to search for Robert Preston's version.

[@LoadPast]

Damn he killed it.

[@user-zf3fc9tn5k]

You know, why hasn't Seth done a full on Musical? Seriously, the guy can REALLY sing, and Family Guy and American Dad have some very funny and catchy songs in them, so why hasn't he combine his great comedic writing, with the guy who helped him write the songs in the shows I mentioned, and make his next movie a old school comedic musical?

[@martinwhite7053]

Don't get me wrong, Seth is marvelous, it's a damn hard act to follow though. I wanna have a go myself, I could do it too!

[@martinwhite7053]

Did you see the entire showing of Broadway musicals at the Albert Hall ? I was enthralled with the whole thing, Sierra Boggess, wonderful stuff.. Its pretty much all here.

[@user-zf3fc9tn5k]

***** I wasn't necessarily saying he should remake The Music Man, I was just wondering if he'll ever do a straight up classic music like Music man or something else.

[@martinwhite7053]

What, Like the "sound of music" ? No he needs a good comedy role. Maybe "West side story" except he's a bit too old for that. Camelot maybe? Did you ever see John Lithgow in "La Mancha" that was pretty damn good.

[@user-zf3fc9tn5k]

I mean not star in a remake of any musical, I mean like him making his own music that he wrote, directed, and possibly stared in.

[@atolmasoff]

This kind of stuff is one of his true passions. Same thing with Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It's why you hear so many of these kinds of songs within the shows.

[@mickmac1888]

Seth MacFarlane always looks happiest when he's doing musical theatre

[@vercality6170]

As a student studying opera, it is a really interesting choice seth made by singing the last "pool" and moving to the "L" so early in the last note. It is much harder to resonate on the sound than it would be if he sang on the vowel. Opera singers are trained to maximize resonance so this would be "wrong" in most settings, but in a contemporary work like this and with a singer as talented as Seth, I'm pretty sure it was intentional. I love this choice.

[@alethiaeden]

I think he did it so it didn’t sound like poo. He’s really particular about enunciation and pronunciation

[@cainster]

I'll be honest. I already knew Seth could sing through 'Family Guy' and 'American Dad.' But I haven't seen someone own a stage like that or obviously enjoy doing it since Jerry Orbach. This is clearly talent at work.

I'm not at all worried about a possible "Carrie Underwood in the Sound of Music" situation happening. he is an actor, grant it a voice over artist more than anything but it means he's at least coming from some area of performing as a character and he understands how to be other people, he just needs to get his feet wet with live theatre. I don't think it'd be too much of a challenge for him. especially in a role like Harold Hill who's always "putting on a show" I do understand that'd he'd be a big risk for broadway but I think it'd be one that would really pay off in the long run!
