I think RSL manages in musical theatre fine. He has done well recently in Camelot and Sunday in the park. I just think that he probably wasn't the person for that character. Harold Hill needs a certain type of someone, he's kind of brash and ostentatious -I actually find him pretty unlikable! I think Craig Bierko has that kind of charisma and presence to pull it off, but whereas RSL has charisma by the bucket load, I think his talents lie more in the subtleties.
That said, from what I've seen of RSL in the Music Man, I think he pulled off a very capable performance!
