Per his facebook announcement in his Roger costume it looks like Justin is going into RENT soon. Its great to see he still has a relationship with the show but he is able to work with another character this time
Congrats to him!

Yikes...I'm not feeling this.
I saw him 4 times as Angel on Broadway and I absolutely loved him but I honestly cannot wrap my brain around the idea of him being....Roger.

Posted: 1/3/12 at 1:30pmWhile this is clearly happening, how does that article make it any more "official"? It's not a press release- it's typical BWW speculation that's regurgitating the same tweets cited here and packaging it as "news."

Posted: 1/3/12 at 1:41pmI take it you forgot how BWW gets most of its news? Why so upset about this particular "repackaging?"

Posted: 1/3/12 at 1:55pmConsidering I said this is "typical" of BWW, I'm well aware of how the site gets its news.

Touche. 
But again, what about this repackaging got your goat? I find the Jeremy Jordan Confirms "safe to say" far more irritating and nonsensical!
