"My career has
had many stages, from concerts to theater, from Broadway to International
Tours. And while it is impossible to decide what I enjoyed the most, there
are certain performances that have lingered on, vivid in my memory. Some
are well know thanks to TV and CD's. Others are my personal favorites
for a variety of reasons. Like the challenge of covering the principals
in Rent, which lead to singing both sides of the duet 'I'll Cover You'
in the same week (I played Tom Collins for three performances, than switched
to his romantic interest, Angel, for the next five). But my favorite times
are when you create a character, bringing their voice forward for the
first time, like when Stephen Schwartz let me interpret Cain in 'Children
of Eden.' I still learn new things each time I sing 'Lost in the Wilderness.'

"The
stage is great for seeing what can happen when a good singer or choreographer
or director gets inspired by a song and takes it to a level I hadn't imagined.
For instance, on the new 'Children of Eden' album, Darius de Haas as Cain
is singing notes in "Lost in the Wilderness" I had never thought
of, but his great voice and intensity make the song doubly exciting."

"Mr.
de Haas gives one of the best musical performances this season. Assured
and impassioned, his running man is a figure of mystery and pathos, his
failure to thrive the stuff of modern tragedy."
