anytime! Gotta defend the cute funny talented boys of (understudied for/soon to be) Broadway!

don't forget INCREDIBLY nice. John is a real quality guy. One of the nicest men you will run into.
oh bluewizard...you're quite the catch
Awww, thank you! *Sigh* I feel like Kate Monster. ("And as you know I have a gigantic heart, so why...can't I get a boyfriend?! F**k! It sucks to be me!")
I'm reading John Hill's bio now....I can see why Jamie Hat might think it sounds pompous, but it really is just John Hill's tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. If you check out his website, he always writes like that. But if you meet him in person or hear him speak, you'll find he's actually a modest and self-deprecating guy.
By the way, everyone check out the BWW pictures from Scott Nevins *Presents*. Can you-know-who be any cuter?
BWW at Scott Nevins *Presents*
John Hill's bio is the reason why I think he's adorable. Yes, he's physically beautiful but I love his snarky sense of humor. Le sigh for sure.
And OMG, the pics that Linda took are incredible. Michael looks so amazing. And I can't believe that Linda was the photographer. I was sitting across from her and thought it might be her but didn't want to appear to be a dork by approaching her! :)
As a fellow cynic writer I think Hills bio is hilarious!
Who is this Linda? Is she someone I should know?

she is the photographer for the photo coverage.
John and I would click SO well hanging out for a few hours. Our sense of humor is VERY similar.
did anyone notice that the ticket price for bare when reopens is now $70. thats almost double?
I wonder where John would be without those cheek bones.

True, but I always found the $40 tickets to be a steal.

WHAT the hell is your problem with John???? Do you have NOTHING better to do than trash him??
Thankfully John has all that ginormous talent to fall back on in case he should ever lose those cheekbones.
And though the $70 seems like a lot, Bare is certainly worth it. Trisky and I will be there for the first preview on the 22nd. :)

$70 bucks isn't alot. Yes, is is a jump... but being in the new theatre, there are many factors to consider into icket price.
Linda takes a lot of photos for Broadwayworld.com. I've long been a fan! :) Her subject matter of Michael Arden doesn't hurt either...
I would rather talk about Michael Arden anyways. I'll leave John alone.
So anyways, did anyone actually say who the cast replacements were going to be?
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/18/03
nothing has been said publicly past what has been stated on cast breakdowns issued for auditions.
I would think so, considering all the promo gigs he's been doing for the show of late.

here is Dodger Stages Theatre I, where Bare will reopen this September.
it's funny, b/c the mezzanine level is basically the size of the ATA. we'll see how well this works in the new theatre. and bluewizard, the kate monster line is my mantra!

I saw BARE when we were in NYC in April - enjoyed, but could have used a little maturing of the book. One of my questions, though, had to do with Mr. Hill. In his bio, it said he understudied for Hugh in BOY FROM OZ. Nothing I saw on the stage that night could justify that gig. Is this really what he did?

Please remember that this was a DEVLOPMENTAL run.. the whoel purpose was to see what didn't work.. it was in NO way a finished product and it is being heavily revised for the reopening.
John DID understudy Hugh Jackman in Boy From Oz. He is a very capable performer.. though I think it has been agreed that no matter who you are, you can not be justified as a Hugh replacement.. they DID close the show for his vacation..........
I've been gone for a week a completely missed the BARE happenings, it was sheer torture!!!
ressurecting this thread, WE WILL KEEP IT ALIVE!!!
oh jeez, my Michael Arden ranting will definitly be set free here
i've decided i like the blond (i'm sure everyone cares ) and as for his height, i haven't met him in person, but i LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE the tall thing. i don't know how many times i've listened to the sampler and swooned over his voice....i guess i should count the number of bruises from completely falling over...hmmmm
once again I NEED TO SEE THIS IN SEPTEMBER, i feel guilty posting because i haven't seen the show, but the sampler is permanently in my CD player. i'm in the process of devising a plan to get to NYC, convincing my oh so close minded mom to let me see the show, and who to see it with. I WILL FIND A WAY!!!
jeez, a week away from BWW.com can really do something to you, i typed that so fast my fingers are still moving!
