I just screamed, lol. A very unlikely reaction for me, heh. Now where the hell do I find money to go and see him? *sigh*

Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to

That is the best news EVER! I love Jonathan. He's an amazing actor. I will now go see The Drowsy Chaperone, which I previously had no interest in. What a great acquisition to the show. Break a leg, Jonathan!

Glover may shock a lot of people

He is very good comedically . Since the role does not call for dancing, he should be fine.

Mrs R gave him a fiver when he was collecting for AIDS after LVC

She said if he took off his bathrobe, she would have made it a $ 10 spot

I saw his Romeo at the Stratford Festival a few years ago and he was absolutely captivating. Hopefully Broadway will sit up and take notice.

I frankly had never heard of him, so I googled him. What a cutie!!! I will be in NYC this week and have one show slot open Fri. night....Drowsy was on my short list, but this might clinch it.
