Andy Karl is a great but relatively unsung Broadway B-lister, who never gets the attention he deserves to be a superstar, but is almost always the high point of whatever he appears in.
He plays the Bass Man in Disney: On the Record, a revue based almost entirely on highly harmonized reimagining of Disney music, and his basement notes are breathtaking.
Michael McGrath had already signed on to ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY when he agreed to do FINDING NEVERLAND in Boston. There's no "jumping ship" involved.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
I love this casting. Perfect from top to bottom, and in unexpected ways (at least for me, and at least in theory.)
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
