HAIRSPRAY is next NBC Musical... Jan 13

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "Link: I can't think of anyone. Anybody but Darren Criss. Ansel Elgort?
Jonathan Groff?
Grant Gustin?
Jeremy Jordan? " I think Grant and Ansel are the best options on this list. Jeremy and Groff are a bit too old, IMO. Though I think Jeremy would be a good Corny.

HAIRSPRAY is next NBC Musical... Jan 13
2016, 02:11:40 PM
I actually quite liked the latest movie version that was done (nearly 10 years ago now!) so I'm kinda...indifferent about this at the moment. Though I can understand choosing it for this particular type of production. I really enjoyed James Marsden as Corny in the film. I think he could still pull it off. I also really loved Zac as Link but think he's aged out by now.

NewsiesForever said: "Lin must really love Newsies as David Guzman joins the cast of Hamilton making him the 3rd Newsie(s) cast member in the hit Broadway musical. " Christopher Gattelli put those guys through it with his choreography for Newsies. All of them are so talented. I like seeing Ephraim and Thayne in the show since they were two of my favorite OBC Newsies. Exciting to see another one join!

HSky said: "Funny you mention that - prior to Act 2, there was a message from the King that Andrew Chappelle would be on for Reynolds and the Doctor. I saw him as Reynolds when I saw the show (I think he was performing Sydney James Harcourt's track as Reynolds, the Doctor, and Philip Schuyler because Sydney was on as Washigton). I enjoyed him.

No recording can replace the feeling of being a part of an audience and seeing a performance unfold in front of you. I agree. Have I watched bootlegs? Yes. I'm in CA and don't have opportuni
