Yep, that's him. I saw his name in the credits and wondered who he'd be.

I liked this show but I don't regularly watch L&O so I don't know how it compares to other episodes. The writers certainly play fast and loose with prosecutorial procedure but it was fun to watch.

Luvtheemcee said: "I saw the Leap of Faith reading this week. I'm not going to say anything more because it's not my place, but I liked it a lot."

Wait, wait. Not to change the subject, but Leap of Faith Reading?!? Is this some sort of message board screwup, or was there actually a reading this week?

No. There were several presentations over two days, but they were all the same. I just saw it once.

Luv, I'm soooo jealous. Soooooooooo.....

Anyway, just wanted the L&O. It was nice seeing him in so many scenes vs. that other L&O he was in.

Sutton Foster? I sure hope she plays Raul's sister and not the love interest.

She was Marva. It's a good part for her, honestly. Kendra Kassebaum played the sister. But who knows if this is The Cast or was just a group assembled for the reading. I mean I think we can assume Raul will stay with it because he's been with it for so long and he's said on the record that he plans to, but I don't know what to venture about the other cast members.

Seconding the intense jealousy...I would pretty much kill to see this. Any word on when it's actually opening on Broadway or out-of-town?

I don't know how much of what they said at the presentation was meant to be public knowledge, and I don't want to be personally responsible for getting it out there if it's not supposed to be, but it's happening in the fairly near future.

Just to make it official, though they say there is no "official" casting yet, whatever.

Yeah, I'm holding off on my travel plans until we get confirmation on Raul. If that happens, then I'm vacationing in L.A. this year!
