Posted: 6/14/07 at 9:16amPer Kelly Ripa (oh, about three seconds ago), Neil Patrick Harris is supposedly in talks to step in to replace their mutual friend James Carpinello in Xanadu, following his freak roller-skating accident.

Posted: 6/14/07 at 9:19amSaw this rumor online too. I don't think it'll happen, personally

Posted: 6/14/07 at 9:23amI'm kind of under a rock here - how did Carpinello break his foot? Was it related to the show, perhaps during a rehearsal?

Posted: 6/14/07 at 10:22amI'm pretty sure that it shoots in New York.

Harris could fill in for Carpinello during the summer while his current TV sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother," is on hiatus.

Posted: 6/14/07 at 10:29amdon't know if it'll happen but wish it will. Harris would be a hoot in this and I've been very impressed with his previous stage work. I hope I could see him in it.

Oh, Riedel..
"Carpinello broke his foot just as he was warning some cast members to be careful about skating on certain parts of the set.
"He was saying, 'You've have to watch out for this,' and then he went down," a production source says."

Posted: 6/14/07 at 10:37am....This is exactly why this musical was, perhaps, NOT the most brilliant idea. I doubt that'll be the only injury we hear about during the run.
#17re: Neil Patrick Harris to Replace Carpinello in Xanadu?
Posted: 6/14/07 at 11:02amWow, that'd be amazing!

Posted: 6/14/07 at 11:04amI wasn't planning on seeing this, but if NPH does it I will go.

Posted: 6/14/07 at 11:11amCheyenne sounds like a more permanent, realistic possibility.
