I saw Harvey Evans as Barnum in the road company. I was always a fan of Evans and when I got to interview him, while he was starring in the road show of "La Cage," he proved to be an even nicer person.
It was a bittersweet interview, actually, and this is going back years, so my memory is somewhat hazy on everything we discussed, but I remember that it was around the time that Fosse, Michael Bennett and so many people he had worked with had recently died, many from AIDS. He said the boys in the company had had more than one evening where they just got together and just cried over the latest name that was added to that list.
