Randy is fantastic. I've heard bootlegs (and I'm seeing him next week) but his voice. It's a powerhouse.

i would have liked to have seen Kirk, i think he's great in everything i've seen him in. The character was kind of blah when i saw it, not bad, not great. i don't think it's the performer's fault. It's a bit underwritten (particularly at first---then has to make a dramatic turn), and seems to have been cut back so much, that you need a strong personality. i've seen Harrison in plays and his acting is very affecting, if a little "small" perhaps for overblown musical style. i'd like to hear him sing, and see him in a bigger musical role that might be more naturalistic.

Randy went to CCM for musical theatre with Maggie Benjamin, Shoshana Bean, Kristy Cates, Sara Gettlefinger, Leslie Kritzer..and a slew of other people

Can I say something funny about this guy? I don't seek the autographs but I stand back and watch them signing and I caught him try to sign someone's playbill who didn't want it!! HAHA!! I'm not saying he's a diva or anything it was just a funny moment how he made a point to stay for 20 minutes and sing EVERY playbill and this moment when he reached out to sign one and the person wasn't even looking at him was priceless. I guess you had to be there. Updated On: 7/13/04 at 02:57 AM

I'm seeing Randy tomorrow and I'm SO SO psyched! I hope he exceeds my expectations and more!

Randy is wonderful! He's back in his element! :) Yes, he is a CCM grad...although its funny that he was the 'underdog' at our school......now he's laughing his ass all the way to the bank! Go get 'em! ALthough, he was part of a VERY talented class!

I SO wish I could see Randy in Wicked. e is one of my favorite cast memebers on Queer as Folk and I would love to see him in his element and back where he began.. on a musical stage.

Not only did I think Randy was amazing in his role but he's also one of the nicest people you could ever meet. It's obvious how much he loves being up on that stage. I can't wait to see him in future projects after Queer as Folk is done.

Where can I find these "bootlegs"?

First of all, they are illegal, so I would use PMs for this.

My friend went to the June 20th performance (Randy's opening night) and was sitting in the same row as his boyfriend and his parents. She didn't go up and talk to them or anything, but still... kinda cool.

I wish I could see him, but there's no possible way to score tickets any time soon. Everyone's trying to catch Cheno before she leaves.

More Cowbell!!! You just made me giggle at my desk thinking about that SNL skit!

[More Cowbell]

Posted: 7/13/04 at 2:30pm

LOL glad to hear that. It's the best, isn't it?

That is one of my favorite skits! Will Ferrell is too damn funny in it and Jimmy Fallon can barely hold a straight face!

Ohh I Randy!! I really wish I could go see him in it, Wicked is just not one of my priorities right now though!

Chris Walken was pretty damn funny is the cowbell sketch too! They included it in his "best of"...I believe it's also on Ferrell's.

I saw Randy for the first time at Cheno's last perf, and I was impressed for the most part. First off, he brings a genuine youthful enthusiasm to the part, something missing from a lot of the actors in act one, considering they're all students. He was really adorable with Cheno and Norbs in their exchanges, all the while making Boq less passive than Christopher. While his dancing is iffy, and his last speech didn't go off that well, he has a surprisingly pleasant voice and a nice presence on stage, and I'd like to see him in another musical.

Wait a minute. Did you check the playbill for a little piece of papaer? I heard he was not at the last show on Sunday.

[MusicPos2]

Posted: 7/20/04 at 9:28pm

He has a much more smooth voice than Christopher, and I actually liked that better. I'm going to wait to see Christopher again to see if I still like Randy better.

He was there Sunday afternoon, as far as my party could tell...who wouldn't notice that little tush swishin' around

(kiddin'!)

The only inserts I have are for the Wiz, Chistery and Elphie's Father.

To be honest, all these comments about "he was OK" or his singing was "decent" etc. makes me CRAZY. Just because he's on TV doesn't mean he deserves to be in a hit Broadway show. And, don't we as paying customers deserve (and demand) someone better than "just OK". I am also getting a sense that because he's so 'cute', 'darling', 'adorable', 'hot' etc some here thing it's perfectly acceptable that he's not of a higher caliber.

And I am sure most of us personally know someone who has the talent to play that and a host of other roles taken by those with less talent and only slightly more 'marquee' names.

He sounds like a gay munchkin. lol

Oh, btw, munchkins aren't small in the book. That happens later or something, don't remember exactly.
