Who is he?

His last New York gig was playing Giorgio, the male lead, in Classic Stage Company's staging of Passion.

I'm sure, like most musical theater vocalists, he's got something or other on YouTube.

He was also in Phantom of the Opera. Here's a video of him performing "All I Ask of You" from Broadway on Broadway a few years ago.

He was the standout in PASSION for me! Glad to see he's working again! I'm sure he'll be wonderful.

Here's a headshot of Ryan Silverman: a good looking and talented guy from Canada.

Looks good and sounds good.
They must have a Star coming in for a stretch and need good-looking talent to offset her.

Wow, he'll be great. I'm also curious to see how Alexander Gemignani fares.

Speaking of Alexander, I'm not familiar with him at all. Since he's being doing the role of "Billy Flynn" for a little while already, has anyone seen him?

My friend's vagina literally exploded at this news.

Pretty short run for Gemignani, but that seems to be a thing with them--contracting their leads for only a couple months and then reevaluating.

Now THAT is a sexy Billy. Woof!

He's apparently also gone to the Shoshana Bean School Of Music Videos.

Bleh, I hate him "crooning". He was sooooo over the top with Megan Hilty at the Carnegie Hall concert. But I loved him as Giorgio.

Saw Gemignani last week. He was good. Not slick and greasy enough for me. Can anyone really top James Naughton? He is bald in the show and because of his stature all I could think was... "Why can't he and Anthony Warlow switch parts?"
