Michael McGuire to August: Osage County

He's replacing Dennis Letts.

I have to say....when I first saw the headline, my mind immediately thought of the Michael Maguire who was in Les Miz. I thought to myself, "He can't be that old yet." Then I clicked on the Playbill link, and saw the photo, and thought, "Wow, he has not aged well." Needless to say, I'm glad to know it's not the same person!

LMAO. I had the same thought. "Did BWW typo again?"

Luckily...

I think the younger McGuire was informally blackballed from Broadway years ago after his "relationship" with Susan Stroman.

The younger's name is also spelt differently. Michael Maguire.

Care to tell us the story behind the "relationship" with Stro?

Um, I think I remember someone here mentioning once that he was a girlfriend-beater.

Karma, man...

Good to know I'm not the only person who thought they meant Michael Maguire.
