Given budget and time, I'd have aged Keenan up a little to play "Ben
Vereen", but since his accident Ben's been a little doughy, so physically
it wasn't an awful mismatch. Jay Pharaoh would have been a good match for
1970's "Jesus Christ Superstar"/"Pippin" Vereen.

the future of sports programming. The sports media giant has awarded
AVByte, a YouTube channel dedicated to musicals, a six-month deal to
