Posted: 10/13/11 at 2:21pmMatthew Risch (sp?). I had no idea he had been in "Chicago"..probably in the chorus? How is he as a singer? Just wondering...from RC in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 10/13/11 at 2:36pmI only know him from Pal Joey - he can carry a tune, is fairly good looking, moves well but with no unique character. All in all, a well-trained guy with no "star quality." Anything he can do, Noah Racey can do better (and Racey will probably never be a "star," either).

3 people who always come up for me in these threads:
Wanda Richert (42nd Street, though she was a terrific Cassie on the road)
Janie Sell (Over Here)
Terri Klausner

Matthew Risch was Thomas Sadoski's standby in OTHER DESERT CITIES Off-Broadway. Not sure if he's still with the Broadway company, as I don't have my playbill in front of me. (Stands to reason, though, as he and Mantello are a couple) He also played Sky Masterson in GUYS AND DOLLS over the summer at Barrington.
I agree with newintown re: his performance as Pal Joey. Completely competent, nothing exciting at all.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Risch is Mantello's bf? I thought Mantello was with a chorus boy he met in Wicked, and Risch was just a fling he tried to turn into a star.
Oh, who can keep track of the bedroom gymnastics of theatre folk?

Posted: 10/14/11 at 4:05pmNo, they're a legitimate couple now. They attended the Tonys together, and each has referenced the other as their spouse in interviews.

Posted: 10/14/11 at 4:21pmThat's interesting. It puts his firing of Hoff and promotion of his not-quite-up-to-it boyfriend to the lead in a darker light (to me). Even if he truly thought Risch had what it took, it could be validly interpreted as an unattractive case of nepotism.

Posted: 10/15/11 at 12:22pmWanda Richert retired, thank God. Of all the Cassies I've seen on video, she was by FAR the worst.

Posted: 10/18/11 at 2:12pmWanda Richert is now a minister, she goes by the title Rev. Wanda. I am serious. She gives motivational talks on the Power of Positive Pretending. There is a website and she is available

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 11/18/14 at 2:47pmGiving this thread quite a bit of a bump. Does anyone know what happened to JP Dougherty? He seems to have disappeared after Hairspray.

Kendra Kassebaum (sp?) anyone? She did the Wicked 1st Natl. Tour and I haven't heard anything about her since, except she did Next to Normal regionally somewhere.

Posted: 11/18/14 at 9:58pmAlan - Kendra Kassebaum (no L -frequent spelling mistake people make) was as you mentioned in Next To Normal regionally in AZ and San Jose, CA in 2012-13 and got very good reviews. She was also on Broadway in the short lived Leap of Faith in 2012. It looks like she is now living for the most part in the Seattle area and has been doing a lot of theater there as well as having a baby in the May/June timeframe earlier this year which I would imagine is keeping her busy. I googled her - there is a far amount of info available.

Posted: 11/18/14 at 10:04pmI thought Kendra was wonderful and Leap Of Faith and had hoped she might receive a Tony nomination. She was deserving.

Posted: 11/18/14 at 11:04pmOh great. I was hoping she hadn't left theatre. And congrats to her on the baby! Hopefully she comes back to do NYC theatre again sometime in the not too distant future. I'd love to see her in something again. Thanks, FishermanBob!

Amy was in ROA for a very short time and really couldn't handle the songs.
She was in Elf last year or the year before.

I thought I'd ask again since I was thinking about it today: Does anyone know what happened to JP Dougherty?
He was around for ages in Les Miserables and Hairspray and then nothing.

Anyone know what's up with Jennifer Laura Thompson? Did she get post traumatic stress after idinas fall or something?
