Who do you want to know about the most? Where are they now? What are they doing?

My two picks:


Michael Cavanaugh - Vocalist/Pianist of MOVIN' OUT

Linda Eder (what has she been up to these days???)

There was something in the news about Cavanaugh. He's doing some sort of Concert. I want to say in Boston. It was on here recently....

I want to know where all those actresses playing "Tracy" in Hairspray have ended up.

Also, where is David Ayers? I mean, he played a pretty high-profile role on Broadway. He was one of the first replacements, but he's no where to be found. I mean, sure, he sucked, but I'm surprised he hasn't been recycled.

I really want to know what Ben Wright from the OBC of Into the Woods looks like and what he's up to..I heard he's a lawyer now?

I would like to know what ever happened to Jill O'Hara, who was in the original HAIR (off-Broadway), and had major roles on Broadway in George M and Promises, Promises.

I just directed a BC/EFA benefit last December - an all Bacharach show and we had Jill in it doing Whoever You Are, I Love You and I'll Never Fall In Love Again (with Tony Roberts). She looked great and amazingly sounded exactly as she did back when she did the show. Great gal and a pleasure to work with her. There are photos of her from that night on this site, so search for them.

Video clips from that concert, including O'Hara's moment are also on the BC/EFA website (google it I can't find it right now lol)

Kathy Brier one Tracey in Harispray is still on One Life to Live though it sounds like not for much longer. Hrmm who else...

She needs to cut that out.

What happened to Kate Levering?

[Pianolin717]

"She needs to cut that out."

Have you heard her cd? Its just.. ok. There is one standout song that I like and the rest are just boring, and this is a perfect example of why she should stick to Broadway

Kate Levering was a series regular on Kevil Hill (with Taye Diggs) and had a recurring role on Cashmere Mafia. Everyone goes to movies & TV!

Linda is touring and I LOVE the country CD. It is really exhilarating to hear her sing country/folk covers and some originals. I think it is a stunning album. I adore it. It was refreshing to hear her sing simply without belting.

Linda is mostly doing concerts. I saw her in concert back in November and she said while she loved doing Broadway, it's not what she wants to do with her life. She is a singer, and not an actress. She also finds it funny that she's always billed as a Broadway Star when she only did one show.

Yupp, pretty much to sum up what everyone else said: Linda is touring; she got bad notices from a lot of people for her acting skills in Jekyll & HYDE (which she was not terrible?); To top it off, Linda was really pretty exclusive to composer Frank Wildhorn, and since they split she has been released from all of those projects -- only staying with one: Camille Claudel. Unfortunately, Camille has been produced two/three times (2003 & 2005), and pretty much looks like no plans for a Broadway run, especially with some of the songs...I can't imagine anyone else BUT Linda in that role. Too bad ! Also, it was Frank who really got her into musicals -- she always had thought after StarSearch she'd be a mini-pop star or something to that extent!

She has often said she would love to do some sort of concert-version (Is this what Broadway Backwards does?) of Man of La Mancha with her in the title role ! She is very dedicated to be a good mother to her (& Frank's) son, and if you attend one of her concerts, she's very personal with the audience and you will see that she is absolutely happy with getting to sing 3 shows a weekend occasionally as opposed to throwing away her current life to do 8-shows a week and risk missing things..! I personally applaud her for that...but would LOVE to see her back on B'way someday!

What happened to Wilson Jermaine Hedria(sp) the orignal Angel in Rent?

[homeimp]

Posted: 2/9/09 at 3:57pm

Whatever happened to Frankie Michaels who was the original Young Patrick in Mame with Angela and, I believe, a Tony award winner?

Where is Tony Award-Nominee Marla Schaffel (Jane Eyre, 2001)?! She did a concert with James Barbour over the holidays,...and I think she is doing something with the York Theatre soon...?

[RentBoy86]

Posted: 2/9/09 at 10:06pm

Is Schaffel in the York Theater Production of "Enter Laughing" or is that someone else with a name very close to hers?

Where be my Kevin Cahoon at?

[misto625]

Posted: 2/10/09 at 12:20am

Kevin Cahoon is in Minsky's so he will probably be back on Broadway very soon.

Linda Eder and Michael Cavanaugh are both part of the Boston Pops upcoming season I believe.

What ever happened to Amy Spanger. It seems that she had been doing theatre in NY for a number of years and then after The Wedding Singer she just fell off the face of the earth.

Well, her husband, Michael C. Hall had been the breadwinner of the house...until they recently divorced. Funny how actor couples always break up when one of them hits the big time and the other one doesn't...
