I believe he is a huge talent and will draw a lot of folks to the show. Broadway needs new blood and to keep up with the Technology wave that this country is in you've gotta start producing flashier stuff if they want to keep attracting new crowds. PS I thought he was amazing in Across the Universe and it definitely revived the Beatles music. I was thrilled when I heard that Jim Sturgess would be playing Spidey on B’way.

I heard songs recorded form the workshop and they were...wow! The duet between Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess was truly amazing, and I agree it will be at the Tonys. I just hope it will still have Wood and Sturgess singing it! Whoever said the demo was pretty dire, heard the wrong songs.
