For your enjoyment: Detective Lennie Briscoe singing "Be Our Guest" (and more)

Last edited Fri Mar 15, 2024, 10:14 PM - Edit history (1)

For those of you too young to remember…before he was Briscoe, Jerry Orbach was one of the most respected, talented and accomplished muscial/Broadway actors of all time. He was Lumière, he put Baby in the corner, he was the original Billy Flynn in Chicago. He got his break in a little off-Broadway show, you might have heard of it…The Fantasticks.

Saw it when it came out and enjoyed it. The book was even better, about the Joey Gallo and his brothers.
