Title: Patton Oswalt Sings Colm Wilkinson
Product review: Sorry if that offends but it was the image that immediately sprang to mind when I heard Gary Morris. What one looks for in a new recording for a show is the new artists interpretation of the work. What Gary Morris provides is a bad carbon copy of Colm Wilkinson's performance, right down to vocal inflection and pronunciation. I really have no issue with the rest of the cast's vocal performance because they are at times so very different from the approach of the Broadway and London recordings. I really don't know why I subconciously chose Patton Oswalt as the face for the voice I was hearing, but it's the one that stuck. Perhaps because I find it so ridiculously amusing that someone with a Broadway caliber voice would go to that much trouble to sound like someone else.
