Who could it be? I'm thinking someone from Hairspray, by the looks of the stagedoor.

because he/she mentions make up and fake eyelashes, and by the look of the stage door, i'm gonna say it could be the new Edna, but they already interviewed him.

Well, they specifically ask us not to guess. And they change info, so it's not very easy to figure out who it is. Don't try, you'll hurt yourself.

even though the stage door picture opposes it, I'd say it's someone playing Angel in Rent.

But then again, the info has been changed, so it might be a GIRL. WHO KNOWS?! IT'S A MYSTERY! WHEEEEEEE!

This is so cruel to obsessive compulsives like me who will spend HOURS on end trying to solve the puzzle. Even if there's no puzzle to solve.

Darn you, Broadway.com!

I was thinking Lithgow, he wears a wig, right?

My guess is someone from Spamalot, possibly Tim Curry.

I was thinking someone from Spamalot too, it was the first thing that popped in my mind.

Yeah, I was thinking Lithgow too... because he has an 'opening monologue' the writer mentions reciting. And he wears a wig. But either of those things could have been changed to preserve the anonymity of the writer. AHH! SUSPENSE! MYSTERY! *falls over*

Only problem wiht Lithgow is he doesn't have enough hair for 100 bobby pins

And please remember, they've changed info. For all we know, NONE of what this person has written is true, so it literally could be ANYBODY.

! CHRISTIAN BORLE! He has an opening Molologue, wears a wig, and has he performed in Germany?

But of course, I'm not guessing...

He also has dark brown hair, and a dark brown wig, which means he would have a dark brown wig cap, or it's a person who is black, and would have a dark wug hap to match their skin tone.

that's a really big mic...

But has he had starring roles on broadway?

It can't be Lithgow, he didn't want to be an actor, although his dad was. He wanted to be a painter at first.

Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

This has got to be the stupidest thing ever. This mystery actor (or actress) says nothing profound or controversial that would require them to need to remain anonymous. Why the reason for such anonymity?

Sorry, my rational side comes out every once in a while.

IT'S HARVEY FIERSTEIN! NO WAIT! IT'S NORBERT LEO BUTZ! NO WAIT! IT'S CHERRY JONES! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!

Hrm, I lost that rational side for a moment. Sorry.

I don't like it. I agree that nothing risque or controversial is being writen, so why hide? Plus if we're not suppose to guess who it is, where's the fun?

How can they change information and say it's not fiction? Last I checked, when a person made up/changed details a story, it WAS fiction.
