Ben Liebert is now playing Boq on the National Tour, alongside Lenny Wolpe as the Wizard lol.

Aaron Tveit just returned from performing in Next to Normal..he is of course, playing Fiyero again :-)

You put in twice.

You should add that Kendra Kassebaum will appear in Love and Other Impossible Puruits alongside Natalie Portman

Aww, I had hoped to see him in more shows.

Julia Murney is appearing as Mrs. Walker in The Who's Tommy at the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma @ Civic Center from February 5th - 21st, 2009.

Kevin Kern is in 9 to 5.

Sebastian Arcelus will be playing the role of Zach in the Lincoln Center Theatre's production of Happiness, starting previews on Friday, February 27, 2009.

Ana Gasteyer will take part in the reading of a new musical called First Wives Club

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/125672.html

And hopefully all those people listed will be in it when it debuts this summer at the Old Globe in San Diego as a pre-trial for Broadway.

Rue is on a TV show called "Sordid Lives" on LOGO. I know the first season ended a few months ago.. dunno about a 2nd season? It was amazing!

Norbert Leo Butz has been confirmed to star as Carl Hanratty in the new musical Catch Me If You Can which will run July 23 through August 16 at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. We can also eliminate Kevin Kern from the list because he's playing Fiyero on Browadway again. Since Aaron Tveit left the Broadway cast again we need to add him. He will reprise the role of Gabe in Next to Normal on Broadway and will then play Frank Jr. in the musical Catch Me If You Can.

I saw Norbert in a commercial two days ago! It was some family kitchen scene. I forgot what they were advertising, probably because i was kinda going like "OMG NORBERT-ON-TV-COMMERCIAL-HIIIIM!" lol

Jeffrey Kuhn is performing on Broadway in the play THE 39 STEPS in which he appears as Man #1.

I saw that too! I believe the commercial was for biscuits.

Tiny bit of an update lol:

-Eden Espinosa is going to be performing her solo show, "Me", in Los Angeles

- Jayne Houdyshell is going to do the reading for "Coraline" (at least that's what it sounded like to me lol)

Yes, that's what it was! I was so excited lol.

I just want to add that it's really refreshing to see Ms. Mackey climb so high in the NY Theatre seen so shortly after her Broadway debut (which was less than a year ago)! She's very talented and I look forward to all of her coming endeavors!
