Stephanie D'Abruzzo and John Tartaglia

I know she's already pretty poular now, but Idina Menzel in WICKED. Don't shoot me, but I had never heard of her before I saw WICKED. Maybe that's because I rarely listened to my RENT cast recording, but that's all I listen to now!

Most of the principles in the short lived, Fascinating Rhythm. In particular, Michael Berresse, Orfeh and Patrick Wilson.

Georgia Engel went on to play the supporting role of Ted Baxter's girlfriend/wife on "Mary Tyler Moore Show". Bonnie Franklin had a moronic sitcom called "One Day At A Time." The others have not made it to stardom yet.

Jake,

I still think she's waiting to be a star.

I saw Jarrod Emick as the understudy for Chris in MISS SAIGON back in '91 and thought, 'That boy's gonna win a Tony someday!'

Oh..and my absolute favorite...one hot August day in the summer of 1999, I turned to a fellow cast member in a small show I was doing in the Fringe Festival and said, 'If this show ever went off-Broadway, you'd surely get a Drama Desk nod!'

Her name: Spencer Kayden.

Maybe they are not 'stars', but I did call 'em right!

Princess Mimi, you are really sad!!! Do you live in a hermetically sealed room? Do you ever go to the theater? Do you watch TV? Bonnie Franklin was in the TV series ONE DAY AT A TIME. David Hartmen was on ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA. Georgia Engle was on the MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW. Scott Wise is currently in MOVIN'OUT.

TSMrW is Patrick Wilson (Don't tell me you've never heard of him or I'll give you a cyber smack!)

TWHM is "The World's Happiest Musical" aka: HELLO, DOLLY!
