We'll miss you in NYC Jeremy!

"“I just got tired of paying rent,” says Kushnier, who coincidentally had been playing Roger in the Broadway musical Rent. “I was lucky enough to get great jobs in the past few years, and I wanted to build some equity.” So much for that: Sixteen months later, Kushnier’s selling his place and moving to Los Angeles to join his actress girlfriend."

You need to read the whole article. He says he was tired of paying rent which was why he bought his place.


So sad. Here's to hoping he won't be a stranger to Broadway!

I'm jealous of anyone who can buy a $500K co-op.
Sigh!

Am I the only one not upset or saddened? I found him terrible as Roger, and worse as Ren...but that may be me.

He was amazing as Radames in Aida. Hope he doesn't stay away from the stage for too long though.

The times I saw him as Roger in the Benny Tour years ago were amazing. Best Roger I have seen, and I've seen my share.

He was a better Mark, in my opinion, than Roger.

Oh, I don't know, read the whole article?

Anyway, Jeremy was one of my favorite Rogers. Amazing.

I saw him several times as Roger. Absolutely fabulous; he's definitely my favorite.

Jeremy is the best Roger I've ever seen. I constantly compare Rogers to him and the only one that even came close for me was Jay. Also I know the article is new but supposedly he was out on the west coast last year when he came home from the Asia tour so I'm not sure if the whole leaving NY - coming to LA is recent. He was just here for a reading of Rooms and did a benefit concert for the Rita Project.
