I think Aaron is wonderful. I saw him in Next to Normal, Hairspray, and Saved and thought he was great. However, part of me thinks this casting might be a little weird. Don't hate me for saying this but I just can't see him in this role especially considering he's going to be with Kerry Ellis and Kendra Kassebaum. But I definitely agree that I might have to go see it one more time just to see what he's like.

I think he'll make a great Fiyero. I agree that it'll be weird seeing him opposite Kerry Ellis and Kendra Kassebaum, but he definitely has the charm, looks, and voice to play the character.

This boy is immensely talented and is going places!

"...he definitely has the charm, looks, and voice to play the character."

Definitely agree with that. I think he would have been great opposite Annaleigh...*sigh*...oh well...

Wow, they are actually getting a new cast member? Are they running out of people to recycle?
Good for him. Isn't he too young-looking for the girls playing the witches though?

Yeah, he would have been great opposite Annaleigh because her painful acting would have made him look even better!

So... no extension for Saved then?

Ok... I may be battling my mom for the second ticket we got for July 20 (my sister wanted to see it and it's our birthday) now. If we don't win lottery that is. (If anyone wants to help the birthday girls out on July 20's lottery, let me know! :) )

Oh my, they would've been adorable together. :)
Damnit, I wish he was staying longer than 3 months so I could catch him in the role.

Holy.CRAP. Aaron is a busy busy boy lately. This may actually finally get me to Wicked.

Funny. I posted this (earlier) on the day of the official announcement.

he's doing WICKED and then will be Tony for WEST SIDE.

It's amazing how busy this kid is. He's getting every male under 30 role right now (and rightfully so).

[adamgreer]

If the West Side Story rumors are true, he'll be in Wicked for how long? 3 months?

[brettystar]

I am so jealous - I would love to see him in this role. He was great in Saved.

On a side note though - can't they put Kendra to bed? Hasn't she exhausted this role enough already??

This boy is marketing himself VERY well and slowly rising up in the ranks. Love this guy.

Just got back from the box office...I'm seeing Aaron's first performance!!!

[adamgreer]

Posted: 6/7/08 at 11:14am

I'll be there on the 25th!

When I read this, you're the first person I thought of, Adam, but I realized I couldn't text-message you. We must fix that!

Yes, adamgreer is Aaron Teveit's biggest supporter!
