Michael Arden is one of the most talented wonderful actors out there.
I saw him in Bare
and in Standing Ovations 2
and in the Encores Bash
and when I saw Opening Doors at Carnegie Hall, he was there!!!
(This was shortly after Bare was cancelled, and I was absolutely distraught. I was actually just talking about the sad state of this with a friend before the show started. And then when intermission came, MICHAEL ARDEN WALKED RIGHT PAST ME IN THE LOBBY! I did a double take, started to hyperventilate, and then RAN after him. I politely stopped him, and told him how wonderful I thought he was, and how absolutely sorry I was about the economic happenings at Dodgers'. I probably babbled for awhile, but he was SOOOOOO nice. We ended up having an actual conversation, and when my friends finally came up to me, he said, "Hi, I'm Michael"! I don't know exactly why, but this was so charming! He's so down to earth... He did however seem extremely sad about Bare. It was heartbreaking. In fact, he was sadly breaking off pieces of a large chocolate chip cookie. Awww!)
He is amaaaaazing and deserves so much success. He is truly a chillingly awesome performer.
[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.
