Kevin Kern plays Fieyro. I didn't see him on Broadway at bryant park, but i've seen him 3 times as Fieyro in Wicked and he's amazing.

Kevin isn't THAT old. You'll recall the first New York Fiyero was Norbert Leo Butz, and he certainly looked older. Fiyero doesn't necessarily need to look young...after all, he's a guy who's been kicked out of several schools. Perhaps he's a professional student, so he could be older when he starts at Shiz.
And, for someone who's "old," Kevin is pretty damn sexy.
(Incidentally, I saw the show the night of BROADWAY IN BRYANT PARK and Kevin was out...Jerad Bortz was on and he was pretty awesome.)
I don't think Kevin Kern is too old at all, he's gorgeous.

Kevin hardly looks too old to be playing Fiyero. Also, I blatantly disagree with the original poster about Constantine's understudy not measuring up to him vocally. Both he and Savannah were HUGE improvements on Constantine and Amy. If this had been the original cast, I might have liked it more... (barely).
