You're welcome! I hope you get a chance to hear him do something other than Bare at some point.

On another John Bucchino note: his piano variation on My Favorite Things at the composer's night for the Kerry campaign brought me to tears. It was UN-BE-LIEV-A-BLE!

Alright, back on topic folks. Can you think of anyone else? So far, we have, in MY book at least, Michael Arden....and that's it. Still pretty much a dirth, wouldn't you say?

Max Von Essen<== currently playing the title character in DORIAN

Christian Borle<--- quirky, but can still get it done

Hunter Foster<=== living it right now, going from lead to lead

Aaron Ramey<=== just played Lindbergh in TAKE FLIGHT workshop, covered Gavin and Marc in MILLIE

Jarrod Emmick<=== living it at the Palace very soon, Tony winner

Patrick Wilson<=== starring in Phantom movie, two time Tony nominee

Raul Esparza<==== good actor, good singer, different

Neil Patrick Harris<=== did good work in ASSASSINS, has "Doogie" celebrity status to get the attention of audiences

Jason Wooten and Tony Vincent<=== busy singing Queen in Vegas, both solid singers

Colin Hanlon<=== currently in Rent, cute, good actor, good singer, preparing to star in Mr. Arden's new musical at Joe's Pub

Danny Gurwin<=== playing opposite Sutton Foster in LITTLE WOMEN

Barrett Foa<=== covering leads in Avenue Q

Norbert Leo Butz<==== living it in DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS this season, Tony nominated for THOU SHALT NOT

Some of these are CURRENT leading men (like Hunter and Jarrod) as opposed to up and comers.

Some of these are a bit quirkier than others. And there are more quirky leading men like Chad Kimball, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, etc.

And there are others

Speed, most of the men you just named, while very talented, are too old to be young leading men.
