Just thought I'd report the news here. My thoughts are with Rob and Kellie (Wicked's MD - also his wife.)

so so sad
NEWS REPORT

"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending. The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

Had the pleasure of working with Rob on Phantom and a couple of other shows, my prayers are with his family.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Wow that's so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I remember seeing him on the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast thing that Les Mis did.

Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

The news has been out for several hours now, and I'm still in shock. It's one of those things where I'm just PLEADING that the worst does not come to fruition. It's so unfortunate what has happened, and my thoughts are with his colleagues, friends and family.

I just read on Wikipedia that he passed away (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Guest). I hope this is not true.

He was too young. Poor guy.

How tragic.

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...
