They should have given John an older robe, that one looks like a white sheet, which is not a good image for this show.

Congrats to Mr. Jellison.

"They should have given John an older robe, that one looks like a white sheet, which is not a good image for this show."

What that a reference to the racial aspects of the show? Once a new season starts, they always use a new off-white muslin robe.

Congrats to John Jellison, star of past Broadway shows such as BABY, WIND IN THE WILLOWS, NICK & NORA and THE CAPEMAN. He was also in the brilliant off broadway musicals IMPERFECT CHEMISTRY and WALMARTOPIA.

He was also in:
TITANIC
ALL SHOOK UP
PASSION
CAROLINE OR CHANGE
CRAZY FOR YOU
OKLAHOMA
PUTTING IT TOGETHER
ME AND MY GIRL
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

And Kryst22, it doesn't go by season, they fill each robe with panels till it's full and then they start a new one.

Yes, he's been in tons of shows...I was just listing the mega flops!

Oh yeah,
for a second I forgot you're the flop freak.
Looking over my list, I would say only
PHANTOM and most likely
ME AND MY GIRL made money,
but you were picking out the Megas.

Mr. Jellison is a true GYPSY and Pro and the spirit of the working actor On and Off Broadway. When a show closes you get yer ass up and back to auditions and can only hope for a career
as long as his.
