When I first heard about it, I couldn't imagine him as Percy. But he's just such a delight. He's much more like the Percy of the novel, too. I adore the musical beyond the telling of it, but they've gone a bit overboard with Percy's "nincompoop" public persona. It's funny for a while, but it gets old by the end of Act I.

I love the A&E Percy for being every bit as apparently useless, but still all snarky. And Percy and Marguerite pretending to snipe so viciously at each other when they're out in society.
