He left the Chicago company, and returned to the Broadway cast as Fiyero for about three weeks, until David Burnham took over.
I don't know where he is working now.

Oh, begone before someone drops a house on YOU!
Yeah, that's always the elephant in the room, Tag. That and the the fact that he can't act and his melisma is enough to make one seasick.

Posted: 3/22/08 at 4:55pmYeah, that's it. If only I could be on Broadway, then gratuitous melisma wouldn't make me seasick.

That didn't stop them from casting another Fiyero I saw once...
