Nate; sadly you know not of whom you chastise. Jason has the most PHENOMINAL vocal range you have heard. Imagine Ivan Rebroff on steroids fronting a metal band. The you may get HALF the picture.

Assuming, of course, you know you Ivan Rebroff is.

Jason can EASILY piss in the role of Freddie in Chess. Pity The Child is a walk in the park for him; I've heard him with my own ears bust this mutha to the ground. The fact he hasn't played this role is testimony to the fact that IT'S TOO EASY FOR HIM. The man with the purest Wagner-tenor voice in Perth's community theatre opts for more significant challenges. To whit; Booth in Sondheim's "Assassins".

That's right; my tenor Samoan Attorney taking on a low baritone role- and pulling it off superbly.

So. What have YOU done, Nate?
