Loving it!
Kinda sucks that he had to back out of CHICAGO though (or am I mistaken?)...

Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:00pmwell, let's see. Do a role/show he's done numerous times or head into a new role/show?? I'd take the new role/show.

@ACL2006
Duly noted. This makes me extremely happy, maybe even enough for a return.

Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:03pmI'm more excited for this than I was when they announced Jeffery Tambor. I picture him as more of an Albin, but I'm sure he'll be great.

Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:09pmHe's proven he can do drag, but it's nice to see an Albin who can handle the singing.
#9Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:15pmHuh RM? He's joining as Georges, which is not the drag role, and he can sing. More than Jeffrey Tambour and Harvey. It it runs long enough he'll probably end up switching roles.

Never thought of him...he seems a little young, I had always seen Georges as a bit older than Albin, but it'll work. Would actually love to see him as Albin though--maybe he will replace Harvey eventually...
and 2 former Ednas in the same show!

He's playing Georges.

Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:19pmAlso, the 2 of them are going to ham up With You On My Arm. As Forbidden Broadway so aptly said... you can't stop the camp.

Usually openly gay actors play Albin but is this the very first time two openly gay actors play Georges and Albin?

No, both Gary Beach and Daniel Davis from the '05 revival are gay.
#17Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 5:40pmDaniel Davis and Gary Beach are both gay, so yes, we have had an authentic Georges and Albin before.

So THAT'S why he was at the show Sunday!!!!
#19Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 6:13pm"Chicago's" loss is "La Cage's" gain. I wonder who will replace Sieber on "Chicago"? I'm still hoping Jason Patrick Sands gets to do the show, when I see it on March 17th. Keeping my fingers crossed. RC in Austin, Texas
#20Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 6:19pmHe didn't even cross my mind because he reads a little bit young, but I think he'll be wonderful with Harvey! I'm excited to see this again with the two of them.
#21Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 6:56pmYeah, this will pack 'em in.
#22Christopher Sieber Will Join Harvey Fierstein in Broadway's La Cage aux Folles
Posted: 3/1/11 at 7:03pmOh yeah, Adam?? Well I just went by the box office and was told they sold out for the entire run after this announcement was made.
