Posted: 4/18/05 at 7:22pmWho's the prettiest man playing Angel? Or who is the best looking man in the Cabaret suspenders? Which actor can play both a man or a woman?

I've only seen the pictures, but Raul Esparza makes for one hot Emcee. Very different from the "old man" I watched in the movie when I was little. Hey, when you're 8, Joel Grey at 40 seems ancient.
Once again, based on pictures, but Jai Rodriguez is probably the prettiest Angel, because many of the others have looked horrible in drag. Damien DeShaun Smith from the tour was also totally adorable. My sister didn't even realize he was a guy until she read the program at intermission, and even then it was only because he had facial hair in his headshot.

The Cabaret suspenders, hands down, are THE hottest thing I've ever witnessed on a man on stage.

Emcee, I'd have to agree with you there, no argument. 
And as for Angel, yes I'd have to go with Jai Rodriguez. :-P
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Yeah, I would say Jai Rodriguez makes the prettiest Angel.
And as for Cabaret, yeah, Raul Esparza as the Emcee is hot indeed. He looks better in a dress than I do.
Somone already mentioned JCM, but I just wanted to add Michael Cerveris. I can also imagine Kevin Cahoon was one hell of a sexy Hedwig.

I am one of those people that thinks HATES the idea of cross dressing in REAL life. If i wanted to like people who look and dress like women, then i would like WOMEN.
But crossdressing on stage is OK, as long as it doesnt become a hobby. The stage is more forgiving.

Posted: 4/18/05 at 11:15pmWhen I saw the pre-Broadway tryout of Little Shop of Horrors in Miami, Billy Porter was the voice of the plant. In the Skid Row number, he played a woman and made a very stunning whore-ish woman. Very RuPaul.
