Jeremy Jordan definitely has a lot less appeal than Matthew Morrison, who is an Emmy and Tony nominee, and stars in a TV series that is known globally. Like it or not (and I hate, loathe and despise GLEE and find him and his character particularly terrible), he is very much a bigger name than Jeremy Jordan, whose most high profile job so far was on SMASH as a character often described by critics and people on the board as one of the worst characters on television at the time. Morrison not only brings his GLEE credits, but he has been in some of the most highly acclaimed Broadway shows of the past decade--HAIRSPRAY, THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, and the SOUTH PACIFIC revival. It's a smart move from Harvey, ruthless maybe, but you should know that when you get into the Harvey business.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
