Where the hell did Jason Robert Brown go?

Didn't he run away to Italy after his wife started saying that The Last 5 Years was based on them and rumours started circulating that he beat her?

I'm right here! Actually, I'm in Los Angeles – I live here now because I teach at USC in the School of Theatre. I haven't really gone away, though; shows just take a long time to develop. I've got three new musicals in various stages of creation, and you'll likely hear more about them over the next couple of months. But in the meantime, my solo album, "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes," is being released on June 28th on Sh-K-Boom Records, and to celebrate, I'm doing two concerts in Los Angeles (June 10 and 11) and a week of concerts in New York (June 27-July 3). We're also setting up lots of concerts through the end of the year to help promote the album all over the country. Anyone who wants details should just send an e-mail to newyorkrock@mindspring.com and you'll be put on the mailing list. (If you have something other than an AOL address, we'll be much happier, but we can deal either way.) I look forward to seeing you at a concert this year!

(And please, for the record, the only beating in my first marriage was when my ex-wife beat me in checkers. She and I are both over it, everyone else should get over it too.)

this thread is the epitome of why I love this site

We should start a JRB question thread, lol! Just kidding.

RCL, most definitely that was Jason Robert Brown.
And who thought he had gone away? I always hear about the things he's up to or working on next...and that huge benefit performance of "Songs for a New World" a few weeks ago was plastered all over this website, not to mention all "those others."
Fortunately, it would seem he's not leaving musical theatre...although god knows the lure of LA might appeal to him. It'd be LA's gain.

ooh. Exciting!

I think someone posted as Nathan Lane once before already

If it's BS, then someone is giving out his email address without his knowledge. I'm on the mailing list, and that's definitely the email you send to in order to join.

carl magnum-
im sorry but can u just shut up.. u get started with this freakin rediculous comment
"God can people stop blowing smoke up the a$$ of this musical(parade). It flopped, it was a FLOP and for good reason. IT'S TERRIBLE. JRB needs to go away with all the jukebox musicals."

and now u have to do this... so what if it isnt him.... just shut up....

Firstly, double post. Second, please make this legible if you would like us to truly respect your post.

Now...I haven't gotten into Parade so much, but I'm on a crazy "Songs For A New World" kick.

It's him. JRB used to post on Google groups (RATM) as well.
