It's actually Tom Everett Scott.

Julie White rocks my world. And Tom Everett Scott is so HOT!

Posted: 12/27/07 at 4:32pm

Wow, I have to make a trip to see this production.

I still have Jeremy Jordan's headshots, album, & music videos. :)

Can someone please tell me if there's any nice hotel to stay in Hartford? What is the best way to travel from NYC to Hartford on weekends? Amtrak or bus?

Thanks in advance!

Greyhound goes from Port Authority directly to Hartford. It takes 2 1/2 hours. $27 each way.

Amtrak goes from Penn Station to Hartford. It takes the same amount of time, for about double the price.

And it takes the same amount of time on the weekends as on weekdays.

It's actually a different Jeremy Jordan.

http://jeremy-jordan.com/ That's his website.

He was a senior while I was a freshman at Ithaca College. He just graduated in 2007, and has been doing quite a lot. Don't worry though, he's absolutely fantastic.

torta1rosada, I tried to send you a PM but it says you do not accept private messages.

Before anyone books a trip to awful, vile, disgusting, ought to be blown off the map Hartford, CT., it's not Jeremy Jordan, the former pop star. Or even Jeremy Jordan, the porn star. As per TheaterMania, "Jordan is a 2007 graduate of Ithaca College."

I can't imagine this show without Julie White.

[torta1rosada]

Posted: 12/27/07 at 5:03pm

Yes, that's him.

Posted: 12/27/07 at 5:06pm

Did I read somewhere that Julie White is supposed to do this play in California?
So What happened? or Did I missed it again?

Chad is great! My dad worked on the movie "End of the Spear", which was a flop, and even theproduction compant didn't enjoy the final product. But, he is great! I am glad he's doing some more fun stuff! Is his role the nude one?

Let's all remember this is not one of your greatest plays. Julie White was the source of all that was brilliant about it. Just sayin', before you all spend your money and make the trek, make sure you know what you're in for.

[Wanna Be A Foster]

Plenty of actresses can bring what Julie White brought to this role, and really, to this play.

[being.jeremiah]

Posted: 12/27/07 at 11:23pm

WBAF, I think my biggest fear in actors playing Diane would be that they bring "Julie White" to their character and not a different kind of brashness.

[Wanna Be A Foster]

Posted: 12/27/07 at 11:36pm

Good point.

But with all honestly, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that this actress or any regional performer offered the role of Diane even had the chance to see Julie White's performance in what was a *very* short run on Broadway.

The TheaterWorks production has a brand new director, and who knows if he even saw the Broadway/Off-Broadway productions.

My guess is that he is using the text and forming his own interpretations based on that, and guiding the actors as though this is a completely new work.

This isn't a touring production of a Broadway show. It's a new production of a play that was on Broadway for a few months last year.

I wonder if Chad is as "talented in the pants" as Johnny is.
