I read on his website that he's apparently 5'9".
Aren't munchkins supposed to be..well, short? How are they working this out? I don't imagine Kate Reinders as being over 6' tall.

Uh, Robb Sapp is taller than that, I think. He seemed so onstage.
Telly will be great.

Posted: 6/23/05 at 2:42pmWell, Boq is taller than your average Munchkin...

I don't know about 5'9. Having seen him in person, he's REALLY short.
I'm happy they've cast an Asian as Boq.

The costume adds a lot of Boqness.

Logan Lipton (tour Boq) is taller than Kendra Kassebaum (tour Galinda) I believe....
Unless you are so uninvolved in the show that things like this bother you..it's not a problem.
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

Posted: 6/23/05 at 5:19pmTelly has an amazing voice and he is a lot of fun to be around too. He should do very well in the role.

I think it is WAY funnier when the Boq is taller than Glinda, because then the line "Aren't you a little for a Munchkin?" lands that much better. Maybe I am just saying that cuz I would love to play Boq one day and I am 6 feet.

Posted: 6/23/05 at 7:10pmI think its kind of ironic that all the munchkins were taller than Kristen Chenoweth when i saw the show.

as boq says in the show, "not all munchkins are short, miss galinda..."
in the show, elphaba and nessarose are both, technically, munchkins; their father is the governor of munchkinland and they were both born and raised there. logan lipton is relatively short in real life, but no shorter than is extraordinary.
