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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"
She had a baby in 2003, right before she went into Wicked. After she finished her run as Glinda, she decided to take time off to be a full-time parent. Aside from a few small gigs here and there (Of Thee I Sing and On the Town at Encores and the Little Fish reunion concert at the Public), she was a stay-at-home parent for five years.
However, she's been back working full time since 2010, when she did Lend Me A Tenor on Broadway. Since then she did Nice Work If You Can Get It on Broadway, the La Jolla production of Little Miss Sunshine, and as Tag points out, she's currently doing Dear Evan Hansen in DC.
