Dangerous Drought of Dashing Men on Broadway — Page 8

Anyone else Stephen Lynch is hot? I was drooling over his spots on VH1 about the 80's and someone had to tell me he was the one from the Wedding Singer.

Any good pictures of him?

Where is the derring-do that once we knew?

Um.. YESSS!!

Um, no. I'm not in that consensus.

I haven't seen any of them dash yet, though Hugh looked like he perhaps could with the opportunity.

Opinions?

I have obviously been slacking, as I completely missed this thread in my daily skim through the topics. I would've been here PAGES ago with these, otherwise. To go along with what Al Dente and Broadway Chica have been saying...I come bearing Andy Karl.















And as for that picture of Andy and Orfeh that Al Dente says looks like a stagedoor picture...that was taken at the Slut opening night party, and if I remember correctly, was used on either playbill.com or theatremania.com.

That "curly haired dude" is none other than Matt Morrison, frequent BWW obsession, rightly so and can Andy Karl be any more gorgeous, whoo!

Seriously nom? You spend time on this board and don't know Matt Morrison? That's like saying, you don't know Idina Menzel. There are only about 10 people anyone EVER talks about here and he's in the top 5. Unless you're being sarcastic.

I can't resist quoting Sondheim's lyrics to "There Won't Be Trumpets" here, since we're all talking about "dashing" heroic types:

"There are heroes in the world,
Princes are heroes in the world,
And one of them will save us.
Wait and see!
Wait and see!
There won't be trumpets or bolts of fire
To say he's coming.
No Roman candles, no angels' choir,
No sound of distant drumming.
He may not be the cavalier,
Tall and graceful, fair and strong.
Doesn't matter, just as long as he comes along!
But not with trumpets or lightning flashing
Or shining armor.
He may be daring, he may be dashing,
Or maybe he's a farmer.
We can wait, what's another day?
He has lots of hills to climb.
And a hero
Doesn't come till the nick of time!
Don't look for trumpets or whistles tooting
To guarantee him!
There won't be trumpets, but sure as shooting
You'll know him when you see him!"

Sondheim's right: the real hero doesn't have to be a dashing cavalier to save the day.

It wasn't on Broadway, but did anyone see Macbeth at the Public Theatre this summer? Liev Schreiber definitely qualifies for dashing.

TAGIUNAGI- DAMN STRAIGHT!
I love harry :)
Mwah.
Troy Britten Johnson looks like a monkey, no offense.
Eric is very dashing.

That picture is reeeaaally disappointing.

That is Manoel, right?

I don't mind that he smokes, although I'm not a die hard musical theatre fan. I can see why some might find it disappointing. It does move him closer to having sex appeal though. Is that weird?

I really thought he was this boy next door type. It has to be an old picture. I think he really took his Sweeney role seriously and wouldn't jeopordize his performance by smoking.
