I saw Sean when he and Eden went on in 2004. He brought personality and youth to the Wizard. But I am praying for Ben Vereen. As long as he's in it in August 2007, because ths'ts when I'm going.

There is strong talk that it will be Joel Grey (or however you spell his name)

Does it really matter who is playing the part? He sings 2 horrible songs.... Let one of the flying monkeys do it.

Sopranobiz is correct, John Rubenstein is the LA Wizard.

John Rubenstein is a terrific choice! And he's a local and does a lot of theatre here in L.A. on both large and small scales.

best12 I agree..had the immense pleasure of performing with him with his Interact Theatre Company. Generous, giving actor and sweet individual. He was great as Tateh in "Ragtime" out here.

PS: Tony winner too!
