I just got back from All Shook Up (will post a review tonight...it was the most fun Ive had at a show in a long while, even if it was not perfect).
At the stage door, someone asked Jenn Gambatese what her next project was. She said she will be playing Jane in Tarzan and Josh Strickland (sp) will be playing Tarzan!
Woot woot! I'm finally the leaker of Broadway news!
Oh, and Lestat IS going into the Palace theater according to the woman by the stage door. She said there were originally some rumors about Chita coming there before it was announced it would open at the Schoenfeld (I think it's the Schoenfeld) but Lestat will be the next tenant.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
Joshua Strickland, who does bear a resemblance to Ryan, sang well, but for his ticket to Hollywood, he had to promise Simon that he will not use Ryan as a role model and would move away from Ryan-esque styling. Seacrest came in to protest, but Joshua was physically moving further away by the second! http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?article=article2691.art&page=1

I guess he also did Rent. I got this off a talent website.
Overall Talent Winner, AMTC 2003 Signed with Weismann/Brunson Mgt., NY Josh has performed on "Star Search" and was a national finalist on American Idol. Performed in national tour of "Rent".
Hate to break it to ya Wickedrocks, but the news about josh and jenn was broken back on Sept 13 when the Tarzan Sneak Peek happened... Look for that thread.
Just curious, Nomdeplume...why do you say they "picked the wrong guy"? Saw Josh at the recent Tarzan event...he has a great pop voice, and he's easy on the eyes.
I Like the way La Chanze is lookin' at him. Who know's more? He was at Ashley Brown's Opening night for "BEAUTY" Front Row. What's the connection? Besides Disney. I'm sure we will hear a promo CD soon. Marketing and Good Looks Let's see if Disney can do for Josh what ASU couldn't do for Cheyenne, (Very Talented)
Well Josh certainly is HOT...but if he's anything like the character created all so long ago by Johnny Wiesmuller, thats all he need be (well, and able to sing since it is a Musical)!
But...my big disapointment is Jenn Gambatese as Jane! Ugh! I just find her sooooo boring on stage. Laura Bell Bundy did the readings and previous appearanes as Jane...why the hell would they have replaced her with Gambatese? I still dont get what was sooooo wrong with the Bundy/Morrison pairing. A no name and a boring broadway actress....eh, what am I bitching about - Im sure it will be another darling for Disney (although finacially, Im thinking more along the lines of BEAUTY/AIDA rather than LION KING!)
