Happy for Conrad Ricamora. He is fantastic and sexy too

Yes! Conrad Ricamora!

Kelvin Moon Loh will be in another OBC awfully soon.

Is Christopher Vo leaving On the Town, then?

Moon Loh's year. I'm assuming this means sticking with SIDE SHOW through the winter, moving to KING rehearsals.

I'm looking forward to this!

[Wildcard]

I hope Conrad will still get to have appearances on "How to Get Away with Murder" too

Ahhh!! I hope this doesn't mean the end for Conrad on HTGAWM. But congrats to the entire cast!!

What a great year it's been for Conrad Ricamora! So well deserved.

This just keeps getting better and better with each announcement!

With Christopher Vo leaving On the Town, I wonder if his track will be replaced by Ricky from SYTYCD. Incredibly excited to see Conrad and Ruthie Ann in something new!

Ricky is joining the cast before Christopher leaves.

After this great casting announcement, I want March 2015 to hurry up.

have the kids been cast yet?

So glad that there will be a 29 piece orchestra again, as in the South Pacific revival. It should be a sumptuous production.

I would imagine MURDER Is done filming by the spring.

And I guess I can see why Here Lies Love had to close. Every Asian actor in NYC seems to be in the show. It's going to be epic.

"have the kids been cast yet?"

Jake Lucas is playing Louis. It says that in the release.

Looks like a great cast! And, plenty of time for Ricamora to, you know, start on a lifting and whey/glutamine regimen. BTW, if you want to see a horror show of yellow face, just do a Google image search on "Lun Tha". Jesus Christ.

Beyond thrilled about Conrad Ricamora and Ruthie Ann Miles. My excitement for this production skyrockets with their casting.

Why are almost all of the actors Asian? What about all those poor out of work white actors?

This cast is incredible, I absolutely can't wait!

odds are King & I runs longer than Side Show. I'd switch shows, too.
