So did they change something and the lead is now suppose to be a gay twink? I am sorry. but based on the clip... COME ON! And that choreography does not help him.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 2:24pmI absolutely agree, I am not very impressed with that highlight reel. Also, I thought it was extremely interesting that they have gone back to the out-of-town set for the show.. I really did not care for that set and thought it was very lacking compared to its alternate on Broadway. Oh well.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 3:18pmHaven't seen the clip yet, but I'm going up to Providence on Sunday to see the show. I'll post a mini-review if you all would like one.

It looks like a mix between Seattle and Broadway.
The band thing is from seattle, with the big LED-screen..
En then I see the Airport set and curtains from Broadway!
I liked the Broadway set because of it consistency, everything was in the same style..
Now I don't know what the big tv screen does for it, but I don't like them in a theatre!
Call me old fashion, but I like painted backdrops!

Posted: 10/9/12 at 5:53pmHe really needs to butch it up.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 5:57pmJudging purely from the clip, he also reads to me as kinda young for the role. Not really how I picture the character at all...

Posted: 10/9/12 at 6:40pmIsn't Frank supposed to be a teenager, EricMontreal22??

Posted: 10/9/12 at 6:46pmI can't honestly remember, but you're probably right. I always thought for the bulk of the piece he's meant to be a young adult. Leo and Aaron were both in their mid to late 20s when they played the role, though I have no clue how old the lead is here. He just seems a tiny bit too young to me... *shrug*.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 6:48pmI don't think "young" is the problem here.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 6:50pmWell I agree with your point, too. :P Just in general, he doesn't really have the look of someone who's charming, but still a master con artist.

He's a teenager, but a teenager who people buy as a pilot and a doctor.
I only saw the show in Seattle, and I'm glad to see that they went back to the original band platform. I like it so much better than the one they used on Broadway.

I saw it in Seattle as well, and while I really don't have strong memories about it (I found it pretty mediocre), I did like the design more than what I've seen of the Broadway production.
ANyway, thanks for clearing up his age. I still say the "twink" in the video looks impossible to buy as a pilot, or doctor. He looks like the lead in a high school show...

Posted: 10/9/12 at 9:20pmI think you guys are being too hard on him. He doesn't seem to be doing anything that different from Aaron Tveit who could also be considered a twink. I don't get an overly gay vibe from the clip, but I do see what I think the role requires which is a sort of suave sexually ambiguous quality which should and could appeal to both sexes if he needed to do so to get what he needed.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 9:26pmHUH? Judging only and solely from the clip he does seem to give off some effeminate qualities. It might just be the unfortunate clip.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 9:34pmFor a non- equity tour the show looks fabulous!

Posted: 10/9/12 at 9:34pmHe is a cute kid. Just read his bio. Straight out of school and already the lead in a national tour. That is a amazing accomplishment.

You know who I would have liked to see, if he were a little younger, in this show?
Michael Buble. Aaron Tveit's voice is fantastic, but it is decidedly lighter than air, the quintessential Broadway pop voice. I think the score would sound amazing with a young swing and jazz crooner like Buble- someone who knows their way around pop or rock, but could sell numbers like "Butter Outta Cream" in a way that Tveit's voice just couldn't quite match.

Posted: 10/9/12 at 10:21pmAlso, what's wrong with being a gay twink? I don't really understand why that's a bad thing. It's kind of rude to say that.

Why? That is what I see when I look at that clip. I used to be a gay twink myself. Nothing wrong with that. Is the lead character in this story a gay twink? NO!

Posted: 10/9/12 at 11:46pm^I dunno. I read it like you were insulting him for being a twink.
Catch Me If You Can tour highlights clip discussion#22
Posted: 10/9/12 at 11:54pmI think he's pretty cute and charming.

Posted: 10/10/12 at 12:00amMaybe it's the casting. Maybe it is just the clips. And yes he is cute.
