Found it.
"Patrick Wetzel joins the cast of Broadway's The Drowsy Chaperone,"
He's already a part of the cast, he was an understudy. He's just moving up.

The article is fixed, now, if anyone was curious.
Patrick Wetzel, an original Drowsy Chaperone ensemble player, will step into the role of George, the Best Man, beginning May 22 at the Marquis Theatre.
In the show within a show, Wetzel will play a tap-happy best man in a 1920s wedding. His signature number is "Cold Feets."
I saw Patrick when he was on as an understudy for Korbich - he was fantastic! I'm glad that he's taking over the role.

Aww, I'm going to miss Eddie. His character was one of my favorites in the show. I look forward to seeing Mr. Wetzel's take on the role.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I saw Wetzel go on as Man in Chair the last time I saw DROWSY. It will be cool to see him in a completely different role.

I'm usually an Eddie Korbich - but was pretty underwhelmed by him in Drowsy. I saw him play Curious George in a workshop for Theatreworks back in 1991 or so. He was great!
I hear Patrick Wetzel is pretty great in the role. Good for him.

Posted: 5/17/07 at 10:16pmI saw Wetzel go on as the role of Feldzieg during Bob Martin's last performance. He was good, but Eddie was just so lovable as George, we'll miss him!!!

Posted: 5/18/07 at 3:52pmI'm happy that an understudy is getting bumped up instead of someone else coming in. Cannot comment on his performance because I never saw him, but I'm sure his take on the role will be great.
