Stop me if you've heard this one:
John Tartaglia is going into BATB for sure.
I overheard someone in the know talking and they said it was for sure.

Anyone know when?

My guess would be Lumiere; and I'd see that show in a split second if it were true!

Cheers,

Very cool! I couldn't quite see him in the role at first, but I think he'll be great.

catstagestud, correct.

I'm sure they need to get someone who actually HAS talent in that role and not some pretty soap star.

I think he would be great in the role.

What happened with Johnny & the Sprites?

Johnny and the Sprites is definitley in the works. He was in DisneyWorld and did the show for kids for like 10 days I think. I thought I heard it's coming out in November and that's sooner than later so, maybe not until later or even next year?

I am not really interested in BATB but JTags is in it so SweetQ is going!

Plus, Johnny and the Sprites is filmed in Astoria so it'll make a great "day job" situation.

I don't know why, but I find it funny that Johnny & the Sprites is filmed in Astoria.

I thought it was Astoria. I could totally be wrong. It's in NY somewhere.

It must be Kaufman Astoria Studios, where Sesame Street and many other things are filmed. Sesame has used their spot for 38 years. Other recent productions include Prime with Uma Thurman and Whoopi Goldberg's television show.

I would really really love for both Johnny and Sarah Uriarte Berry to both still be in this show in March. I always guiltily wanted to see this show, and with these two outrageously gorgeous performers, I think I have an excuse!

I love Johnny...but I just can't see him in the role.

Maybe it's just me.

My only question is: would Donny Osmond still be in the show in December?
