Does anyone know what he is doing next since today was his last day as Sonny Malone?
He's going back to playing Thalia/Young Danny.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 1:52amI saw Curtis and Kerry go on last week and they were so cute together. The usher who was reciting the "stage seats rules" made a point to say "There will be no molesting Curtis. He is mine and sometimes Patti's."

Posted: 7/28/08 at 2:41amWell, I think Curtis and Patti are dating in real life, so that could have helped the chemistry onstage.

I never saw Patti, but I saw Curtis last summer as Sonny and loved him! I had wanted to see Cheyenne and was disappointed to find out I wasn't seeing him - that feeling did not last very long.
Dunno if this is any of my business, but did Patti and Curtis meet through Xanadu, or have they known each other previously?
ETA: By the way, I ended up seeing Cheyenne later that summer. Both are equally as pleasing to watch! Cheyenne is sexier while Curtis seems more cute/innocent.

Haha, I don't think so!
I must say that I love him in those tight black shorts at the end of the show...

IMO, Curtis is the second-most adorable man on Broadway right now. (See my avatar for my most adorable). I am so disappointed I never got to see him during his month-long run as Sonny.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 10:11pmI hope he really is Action in WSS...I played that role in high school and it was some of the most fun I have ever had onstage! What a great part, what a great show.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 10:28pmI saw them both on July 5th, and they were adorable! I loved Patti's voice, more than Kerry's even. She and Curtis were adorable, though his voice wasn't as strong as Cheyenne's.

If it turns out he doesn't get to play Action I am crossing my fingers that he'll be Sonny on tour...
Almighty Zeus...please...

Posted: 7/28/08 at 10:42pmI'd LOVE to see both Curtis and Patti go on tour with Xanadu!

Not that I want it to, but does anyone know when the show will close? Since Second Stage bought it, I notice in a press release
that they want to start putting shows in the HELEN HAYES for their next couple of seasons. So, I assume the show will close soon right?

Posted: 7/29/08 at 8:58amBut that is still in a few years. So at least expect it to close in a few years!

Posted: 7/29/08 at 11:47amI think 2nd Stage would have to pay to move Xanadu out to another theater or something - if they wanted them to leave. You can't just kick a show out
