Anyone know where he is working? I didn't see him on the Wicked Chicago website.

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.

Apparently he is joining the Los Angeles company of "Wicked" May 13th, again returning to the role of Fiyero.

And, as he has for the past five or so years, he'll bring nothing to the stage but melisma.

Do any of the roles in WICKED require acting skills?

Well he could try and act like he is interested in Elphaba and not Boq.

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.

Yeah, 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...
