I hope Tartaglia is back on Broadway soon. Whatever happened to Johnny and the Sprites becoming a full blown show?

Do you think they'll have a new promo video/ new promo pictures once Barrett joins the cast? He's fairly high profile, right?

He also said something about his show, but I don't remember exactly what it was.

I hope we get a new video. The old ones still have Jay and Dan, so hopefully we will get one with Barrett, Josh, & Greg.

I want to adopt Barrett. It is the Mother in me.

J Tart's blog says to flip to page 14 in this week's TV Guide - anyone have it on hand? Mine's still being sent to my old address. >_<

What blog are you reading?

I remember reading something about page 14 in TV guide but that was a long time ago.

J-Tart's blog is from awhile ago... I'm guessing it was talking about Johnny and the Sprites, which is SO cute!

Aww, I love Barrett. I guess that means I'm going to have to start paying attention to Spelling Bee...

I don't think shesamarshmallow is looking on the recent JTags site because the blog about page 14 in TV guide was on his old website.

This is the somewhat new website http://www.johntartagliaontheweb.com/index.html
...although he hasn't updated in a while.

John T. is currently working on the TV series - in its full version - which begins shooting in Queens during the summer. Working on it with theater director Donna Drake, who directed him in Newsical last year (which unfortunately I missed but heard great things about).

So I'm thinking about doing a spontaneous trip to NY late July - any chance that his first week in the Bee will be up on TKTS? Is he a big enough draw for that first week to be sold out?

It took me forever to find this thread again - his name's misspelled! Ha.

That is the best news! I love Jesse so much as the role and it's great to know that someone just as talented is going to replace him.

I'm complaining.. but there isn't any Barret Foa on YOUTUBE. WHY NOT?

^Yes, it IS quite bothersome.

Soo0o0o if Barrett's last AveQ performance is the 2nd, are they going to have some sort of farewell/announcement type thing? At the last show I mean. Like, will he come on stage all Idina-tracksuit-ed out or something?

I've never seen anyone's last performance in a show, so just curious.

He'll probably just make a short speech thanking everyone and saying how much the experience meant to him

"Is he a big enough draw for that first week to be sold out?"

As much as I like him, and as talented is he is, I wouldn't call him a "draw" at all. Not even in the theater community. He is a draw among his fanbase and the Avenue Q fanbase, but really not anywhere else. But that could easily change.
