I love him, even with the haircut. So talented.

I still refer to him as Dean Hyde!

"I still refer to him as Dean Hyde!"

HAHA. Popular_Elphie, I still think of him as Dean Hyde too.
I told him after XANADU how much I miss ALL SHOOK UP.
And he said it missed it too.

Is he straight? I never really thought about it, but my roommate was OBSESSED with him in All Shook Up, and she'd definitely have a little chuckle at him actually being a STRAIGHT musical theatre actor/ amazing dancer.

Just to clarify, it doesn't really matter, I know. I think he's amazing and talented, and this is not affected by his sexuality in any way. (Don't want to get attacked.)

Curtis is straight. I think I read somewhere that he and his girlfriend met on the set of the "Hairspray" movie (Curtis is a Council Member).

I loved him in the show and I told him after that I loved his song in All Shook Up. I had only seen the tour but he was nice and talked about it.

I love his hair, it's so funny but it works well.

Congrats on the robe!

Off topic for just a second. Does anyone know what those things are hanging off the robe from the 110 in the Shade section? I get the sun, but what's the silver stuff? Ok, back to Curtis.

Ah yes! Good job little_sally. I don't know why I couldn't figure that one out, it should have been obvious. I clearly need to sleep more.
