My Take
Terrence Mann is Broadway royalty in a way casual fans might not realize. A baritone from Ashland, Kentucky, trained at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, he originated roles that defined musical theater: The Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, Inspector Javert in Les Misérables, and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast. I admire performers who span menace and warmth, and his resume of villains and beasts suggests exactly that range. There's a craftsmanship to building characters audiences remember decades later. He strikes me as a stage actor's actor, the kind whose voice and presence anchor a production.
