What is he up to? I've seen him at lots of events and parties but is he doing a show anytime soon? I know he did "Baker's Wife" last year and he's doing the upcoming CUTZ and FLOPZ concert.

I think he's still doing the Kennedy Center's production of Mame this summer with Christine Baranski

Tonight, Sunday Feb. 26th, Max will be performing at Joe's Pub in the Flopz concert. I think he's singing "For Sarah" from DOTV.

Tomorrow night, he'll be doing a reading of G.B. Shaw's, "Fanny's First Play", at the Players Club.

I saw him in Umbrellas of Cherbourg last October in NJ. No nudity. He is quite short in person.

Max von Essen - what a hottie.
I always confuse him with Scott Nevins though..like at the BCEFA Flea Market - it took me a while to realize it was Scott lol.
*sigh* they're both talented cuties..

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I love Max...But, I agree he is so short...I was surprised...And I could never confuse him with Scott Nevins...That man wears way too much makeup...It freaks me out a little everytime I see him.

do people think that the height question hurts Max in terms of getting roles? do producers and directors still prefer that leading men be taller than the leading ladies?

yes leading men are supposed to to taller than leading ladies. Of course there are plenty of tiny leading ladies to cast.

I don't thinkt he height SHOULD be an issue considering his voice is well enough. I guess there's just a certainw ay people view things.

I didn't think much of him until I saw him give the sexiest performance I've ever seen in "Baker's Wife".

I was wondering about Max's height when I was on my way to see him in BAKER'S WIFE this past summer, but he gives a taller impression when he's onstage. Great posture & confidence, I guess! As long as he doesn't have to stand next to a group of much taller actors onstage, he'll be fine.

I don't think he's that short--of course I'm 5'6"...

And I agree that he doesn't look anything like Miss Nevins. I'll leave it at that.
