Austin Miller was robbed again! He should be the next Broadway Link. He's paid his dues in the tour and then the Vegas debacle.

I really don't care for Austin's Link. Have seen him twice and been terribly underwhelmed by his performance in comparison to everyone else on stage. Plus Andrew Rannells is a great Link. Hope Aaron can do just as well

Cheers,

Christopher

i can't wait till sept 8... Diana Degarmo as Penny and Haylie as Amber. Then i'll really shake my head and wonder what on earth broadway is coming to... (and how much pot Margo Lion smokes daily)

I've seen all the Link's and Austin's was the best.

I loved Austin as link I saw him awhile back and thought he did an incrediable job...i met him afterwards to and he was so nice and down to earth....im not sure how i feel about haylie as amber but will see

Why doesn't he get a stab at the role on Broadway? My guess is that this time they had already cast the role with the tour Link and that it was believed that Austin would be in the Vegas production. However, now that it has closed and there will soon be no Equity tour, that leaves him Linkless.

Hm. I'm kinda curious about seeing that.

I would like to see it as well. Maybe she willgive the role some new flavor?

Why is Andrew leaving so soon? I figured since he finally got the role for good he would have stayed longer. Anyone know if has anything coming up on Broadway?

Jeez Colleen- I think you contain a search feature within you.

I heard that Andrew was let go, and that he got it initially because the Vegas prod's snapped up Austin Miller. Austin also said in a Podcast about the closing in Vegas that he was done; he originated the tour, he originated Vegas, he's moving on and that something else was sort of already happening.

Incidentally, I think he's the best Link, too. "Underwhelmed" is a ridiculous word for someone you can't keep your eyes off of the whole show! I mean, talent as well as looks. It's tough. Although his website needs to be updated! If anyone knows him, tell him to update.

Glad to hear that Austin has something else happening! Too bad Broadway audiences won't get to see his Link, though.

Let go? He is great in the role. I have only seen Andrew and Richard in that role though, and I was very impressed with Andrew. I mean Richard played the part for a year and a half. I figured they would have let Andre do the samething.

She sure is getting typecast.
Either that or all she can play is bratty popular girl (she was Summer Wheatley in Napoleon Dynamite).
