Show People With Paul Wontorek: Norm Lewis On YouTube-ing Himself & the Ladies of B'way

[@bregieirofernandes]

I saw him play Phantom on Broadway and stage doored him after, he was literally the nicest sweetest guy I've ever met!

[@broadwaymike92]

Following Phantom, I want to see Norm take on The Beast in Beauty and the Beast. He would nail it.

[@DerekWong967]

because he's black?

[@cyrodilicbrandy]

Oh my god, the "Thank you...worm" story was hilarious. Paul Wontorek's interviews are always amazing.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

Thank you Worm

[@gracieliz95]

He is my favorite actor of all time. If they revived The Music Man and cast him, I'd die of happiness.

[@insparkation6115]

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.

[@youtubingjaguar5082]

Music of the Night- kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJeVip18mMZ1rrc Consider your wish granted. ;)

NORM LEWIS: FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PHANTOM!!!

[@annmitchell4663]

Not the first..the first on broadway.

[@madlynmcauliffe8035]

I'd LOVE to see Norm as the Phantom. Please let it happen, Phantom-Gods!

[@labbyluv]

Norm is easily one of the most talented men on broadway, and one of the best Javerts of all time.

[@jonathanangress4622]

Haha...and now he will be playing the Phantom (with Sierra!) starting on May 12 on Broadway!

[@TheAubrey777]

50????? You gotta be kidding me.... he looks AMAAAAZZIN'

[@healthyholemealbread]

I've watched this so many times, I just love this guy!

[@nicki446]

He's just gorgeous.

[@Waggers789]

Would love to see Norm as The Phantom! Hes defo one of my favourite Javerts saw him at the O2 and at The Queens Theatre, lovely guy!

[@caitlinprince97]

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?

[@catherinejoystockley3691]

I love him so much ... Met him at the Stage Door this summer after seeing his amazing performance as Porgy ... He is SO nice !! My fav ...

[@OneHatMadder]

He makes me so swoon-y.

[@darthkaras2856]

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.

[@butternuttt]

he is so hot

[@cristydt89]

Norm as Frollo please!!!

[@beabeautiful13]

Omg yes norm as frollo would be awesome

[@SongbirdAlom]

THANK YOU, WORM

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

[@tspfan89]

The second actor to play The Phantom was African American. :)

[@somegalfromcan]

This was a great interview!

[@Ashleypalmer1991]

Actually Robert Guillaume who was the star of Benson, was the first actor to play the role after Michael Crawford left.

[@kingmicahde]

Norm Lewis as phantom I support that

[@JohnPerez718]

Enough. Lets campaign to get Norm in Phantom.

[@lisafs0902]

Norm Lewis needs to be Phantom. Now. PLEASE!!!! :)

[@ElphieBeGood]

Norm- I think I'm cute Paul- AHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

[@emilyo.4352]

Norm=phantom so well

[@catroquim]

oh my god he's so cool! he's so talented and ugh so great

[@allieissocoollikee]

Someone get Norm on as Phantom!

[@JSSteele1]

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.

[@franklesser5655]

Amazing talent!

[@MrLightsCAMARAction]

i like your picture! :0) that would be pretty interesting to see him as Phantom. i feel like he would be so good.

[@kimriri3]

ADORABLE!

[@mikeride101]

I adore Norm Lewis.

[@Sweeney1407]

Wild Party is amazing and it is sad that It wasn't as successful as it deserved to be!

[@JessicaRRoberts]

I think there should be an african american actor playing the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera.

[@SingPlayWrite999]

Norm is so interesting... One of the best guys on Broadway. :3

[@netherfield2000]

Never saw him until Les Miz 25th Anniversary special. Thought he was British. He's cool.

[@curioconnor9496]

Cute and charming? True

[@bibblek]

"Give her a bit of the Norm-ness."

[@longlivetayswift]

[@valleyguy1123]

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 :)

[@UBSWhobilly]
