3 pages and no mention of brent barrett in chicago? He is in my opinion the best billy flynn they've had.
also;
sean mccourt in wicked (as the wizard for the month or so between grey and hearn)
jennifer holliday in chicago
mary testa in chicago
luke perry in rocky horror ( i only saw him do dammit janet on the today show but he did well)
