I saw this guy on the Today Show -- hilarious!  Too
bad I won't be in New York...

One-man stage shows are a dime a dozen.  James
Whitmore alone has portrayed Teddy Roosevelt, Will
Rogers, Harry Truman and just about everyone else
except Charo.  

But those one-man snows in which one man does just one
character are they‘re nothing special when you see
Charles Ross portray 40 characters from Star Wars. 

At the Lamb‘s Theater, off-Broadway in New York, the
“One-Man Star Wars Trilogy” portrays the three
original Lucas classics, collapses into one frantic
hour-long show...
  
...OLBERMANN:  When you do the different voices for
the different characters, I always wondered about
somebody who goes back-and-forth, having watched the
great comedians Bob and Ray when I was a kid do a soap
opera in which they each portrayed four different
characters and had to talk to each other and always
got their own characters‘ voices right.  

If you‘re doing 40 different voices in an hour-long
show, have you ever done the right line with the wrong
voice?  

ROSS:  On occasion, it‘s really, really hard.  See, I
do another show, which is the “One-Man Lord of the
Rings.”  And there are another 40 characters.  So, I
have 80 characters potential rolling around in my
brain.  It feels a little schizophrenic.  But things,
so far, have been all right...  

There's a video clip on-site as well.  They needed an
editor for the article, too, no?  Cut that word,
change the 's' to a 'd'...
