Posted: 6/2/11 at 1:24pmA little birdie just told me that Max has been offered Migaldi and Che's understudy. Are those tracks normally the same?

Posted: 6/2/11 at 1:35pmOne of these days von Essen is going to break out -- he's gorgeous and has a great voice, but hasn't really taken off yet, career-wise. Maybe this is his moment?

Posted: 6/2/11 at 1:38pmI have never heard him live but will get to at the benefit concert at NWS on the 27th. Really looking forward to it.

Posted: 6/2/11 at 2:20pmHe has a gorgeous voice. Arthur Laurents should have cast him as Tony.

I had a close encounter with his arse at HELLO AGAIN.
He's very talented, loved him in JERRY SPRINGER.

I find him attractive just not smoldering sexy.
He has a gorgeous, to die for voice and hopefully this'll be his big Broadway breakout.

Posted: 6/2/11 at 2:46pmI don't think Migaldi is a career making role to be honest. Che yes, Migaldi no.

It's spelled Magaldi.
And yes, great casting!

Posted: 6/2/11 at 2:53pmWe can always hope for a Max/Ricky backstage sex tape.

Posted: 6/2/11 at 3:05pmI would love this! He's so talented and has a gorgeous voice, I wish his career would take off. And he would have made the perfect Tony in West Side Story.

How about Max & Matt in an all-male, all-nude musical version of Swept Away?

I like Max von Essen a lot. Hope he gets the role!
But as for Evita, any speculation as to who might play her? Does it necessarily have to be a big name so as not to be outshone (in star power) by Che?

Max is great! That would be awesome casting.
Enquiring minds want to know-did those actors show their junk in Dorian?

How have I never seen that picture of Matt?!? (Shame it's so small.)
Off topic, but I'm surprised nothing ever really happened with Dorian. The demo is pretty good.

Ummm... Elena Roger is playing Evita. I thought that was the main reason for the transfer.

Isn't he too old for Tony? Or do I just for some reason think he's older than he is... He must be 35 or so at least. I know he toured Tony in Europe like 10-15 years back. He was great when I saw him in the Xanadutour as Sonny.
I adore his Proud Lady from the Papermill production of Baker's Wife (have no idea how many seasons back this was)

Posted: 6/3/11 at 11:14amI have to say that the only thing that would draw me in to a Cavanaugh project would be if he did full frontal for the whole evening and never opened his mouth. (I mean to sing.)
