Sounds like an interesting work. And it's great to see Wilson participating in something Broadway related.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Wilson's almost 40. I hope he's playing someone's dad.

Wilson is 35!I love him.

Happy to hear he's doing another show.

Well, at least the reading. But it's a start, right?

He was born in 1971.
He'd be 35 if it was 2006.

Wilson is one of the few members of the original RENT cast (along with Rubin-Vega, Diggs, and Menzel) that I think is incredibly talented, at least from that one role he has played. He's one of the few tolerable aspects of the RENT film. Nice to see him get some acting work.

Wilson is neither 35 nor 40. His birthday is December 2, 1971, so unless people are using a Chinese or Druid calendar or whatever, he is currently 36. Seriously, it's not that difficult to figure out.
