Heather, I can almost guarantee that if you look in your playbill, either Jay Wilkison or Joshua Kobak will be listed as Roger.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

well that is funny since I have been assuming the Roger I loved so much was apparently someone else. All this looking up about Cary Shields has been pointless? they should inform the audience of these thing...does he look like Cary? Thanks.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

seriously it said nothing... I know we can't be sure but I think that it was him...looked just like him

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Sometimes the lighting makes Jay look a little like Cary. hhaha yes I've seen it and I'm a Cary fan.

If you have seen Rent from October 15-December 24th its likely you saw Jay or Josh as Roger. As far as anyone knows Jay is is going to be back as Roger on Christmas, since Josh is going to Tarzan and we still dont know what is with Cary.
hmm...

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

I don't mean anything saying that an understudy was on. Either Josh or Jay is listed as full-time Roger, because Cary's been out for so long.
It was not Cary. It was probably Jay. IMO he looks a bit like Cary, if you don't get a good look at his face.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Cary and Josh do not look similar (in my opinion) at all. If Roger seemed awfully Canadian, you saw Cary. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. The piece of paper inserted in the playbill tells you who you're seeing. It doesn't lie, I swear. =p

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

bizarre I guess I have no idea. Although I really think that it was Cary with all those tattoos...unless the other one has them too...it shouldn't really matter but I am annoyed that I don't have any idea who I was fawning over..

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

I believe Jay has been listed as full-time Roger (in the playbill itself) for quite some time now.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

It's really rather simple.

If you saw a Roger that could actually sing, it was probably Cary or Jay.

If your Roger sucked, you saw Joshua.

Josh has huge arm muscles. Huge. And curly hair. He looks nothing like Cary.

Cenoern, that made me laugh because I agree. And yeah, like Em said, the hair is a big difference.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

well I think that it had to have been Cary, this guy was blond but the hair wasn't curly at all. Just longer on top and spiky. And he had lots of arm tattoos and Cary was the one listed in the Playbill.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

I can't even say if you saw a blonde, it was Cary, because that man's hair color is different like every other week.

WEll, that's odd. From what I had heard, Cary's name had been taken out of the playbill. They make have put it in because he was expecting to return. From your description, I still think it was Jay.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

hmmm mystery, I was in the city the other night actually and I wanted to wait outside like a loser but we never got around to it...maybe some other time, good thing I live close. Well to make things less complicated I guess I will assume it was Cary. Did anyone ever notice if he has some tattoo on one of his arms that looks like writing...lifes mysteries

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

OKAY. MYSTERY SOLVED. I think. Sorry I didn't catch this sooner:

You said you saw the show on November 13th. Cary himself had said he would not be back until the following day, November 14th. Therefore, it must have been Jay.

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Cary is still all over the playbill. I just saw the show this past saturday. its the cast sheet that changes and his name hasn't been on it for weeks. Jay has one arm of tattoos, Josh has none and Cary has both arms and back (haha thank you Karmine's music video *dies*) One of the tats on Cary's arm is a tribute to Rent that says "La Vie Boheme"
hmm...

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Hmmm well maybe it was Jay then...and all this time internet stalking the wrong guy??? I did think that Cary looked a little thin compared to the idea of who I saw
#73

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Yup. 'Twas Jay. Sorry you were mixed up. Jay wasn't bad though, was he?

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

Hah, aww! Heather that's kind of funny, in a way. But Cary is my favorite Roger that I've seen, so this thread makes me sad because I'll miss him! *backs away slowly*

re: What's up with Cary Shields?

well I guess that clears things up. Annoying. So I guess I can drop all my oohing over Cary Shields then! Well whoever was playing Roger did a really good job. Perhaps I should call the theater. Never even saw the name Jay in anything.
