Someone asked why he left GV over at ATC and the reply was a television developement deal. When asked the question by Seth at the last TBKS, Justin said he was offered another opportunity and decided to take it. He had nothing but nice things to say about "Good Vibrations".

(Seth on the other hand had a snark or two about the show).

CATSNY...the vision of Kattan doing this role whilst listening to the current OCR with the wonderful Roger Bart...has to be an hallucination.

I saw Kattan and he is NO ROGER BART that's for sure. He was jittery, jumping and certainly NOT low key. He was clearly uncomfortable on stage even after all the extra attention and rehearsal time he got.

Don't MAKE me go into the details. It was excruciatingly bad.

Thank goodness for Roger being able to step in on short notice.

As for his 'problem'...I think that the reason the gossip columnist who mentioned this little problem did NOT mention his name was that the paper and the columnist did not want to risk legal action.

There were lots of behind the scenes dramas going on while he was there, including his inability to concentrate on rehearsal or show up on time and his unprofessional approach to the work that had already been explained to him as being required of a stage actor.

Further into the details I will not go.

Uh uh...not me...lips zipped.

Well-stated and 'nuff said. I won't say anymore either! Enjoy Roger on the CD. He's SO MUCH BETTER!!!
