Hey Jordan, have you ever considered a career in comedy? You have a sharp, quick wit! You're funny!

Yes let someone get recognition when they deserve it. I find Jordan to be extremely funny too and he makes it fun to be here.

For those who caught victor victoria on broadway when Liza Minnelli replaced Julie Andrews , how was the response like at the time? I read somewhere that LIza helped to drive up ticket sales , but I would love to read any first hand accounts. I presume that Liza would have been considered a 'famous replacement'

The grosses are on record. In 1997, the strongest weeks were the 4 that Liza were in the show.

I was catching up on Odd Mom Out recently (no, I can't justify it) and while the Hamilton cameos, especially Javier's, were fun if you recognized the actors, part of the joke was also how the show hasn't made them recognizable to the general public. Granted, the episode didn't feature anyone who got nominated for a Tony but they might be succeeding in making the show the star and not the actors.

Other than Munoz, they were all chorus members. Why would they be recognizable to the general public?

People Magazine devoted an article to him.  As I tried to see if I could link it (a friend told me about it) there were at least 3 or 4 other People Mag articles about it...possibly all only on line...I couldn't tell you.

 

Pretty interesting for a relatively unknown Broadway actor.

That might be online only.  The title she sent me was Meet the New Hamilton.
