Cheyenne Jackson Dons Leather Jacket to Star in All Shook Up, Replacing Jarrod Emick - playbill.com

I am so bummed that Jarrod won't be staring in All Shook Up. And it keeps getting driven home when I see the parade adn NO JARROD and there's a billboard in Times Square and NO JARROD. It sucks!

There's no need to be rude, but when you've followed a performer's entire career, you want them to succeed. It wouldn't matter who replaced Jarrod, I would be annoyed. He is a phenominal singer and a really nice guy.

no need to be a jerk about cheyenne..

jarrod is an average singer at best.

It happens, I'm sure Jarrod will find more work.

I'm even more sure Cheyenne is going to do a fantastic job!

I'm supper thrilled Jenn Gambatese is the lead gal!

and by the way no one is mentioned on the billboard you are talking about in your first post, there just cartoon people..

It was Jarrod's choice and for good reasons.

He'll be just fine. He is totally focused and centered and knows what is best for himself.

Luckily, I will have had the extreme pleasure of having seen him in it at the workshops. He was spectacular. I wish Cheyenne Jackson all the best - and I hope that All Shook Up is a big hit (particularly for Alix) ....but frankly, I am awaiting Jarrod's new show - whatever it will be.

And to fight over these two guys as if their talents are somehow in competition is sorta unnecessary...let people like who they like without taking potshots. Geesh.
