Frank Wildhorn has become engaged to actress Brandi Burkhardt.
She met him while working on his "Jekyll and Hyde in Concert". She is currently playing Siren on the NBC soap "Passions" - which tapes in L.A.

When did he and Linda get divorced?

What's with him and his leading ladies? I think someone wants a part in his newest flop.

is this the same woman he was dating after he dated Pamela Jordan (of DRACULA ensemble)? or was there someone in between Pam and this fiancee?

And this is Broadway related how? I think it belongs on the Off-Off-Topic Board.

I had no idea he and Linda had gotten a divorce.

It had to have been after February 2003, that's when Broadway, My Way came out, and she thanks him for their son, and speaks very fondly of him in it.

Not really on very good terms at all. He seems to have no hard feelings and wishes her the best. But I cannot seem to say the same about her.

Brandi and Frank have been engaged for some time now, and have been together for a while.

I wish them the best!

"for some time now"? They claim they became engaged last month.
And they are making a public announcement this week.

Were they engaged before that?

I've heard both Linda and Frank say nothing but positive things about one another. They have been divorced since 2003, apparantly having problems around production time of CAMILLE CLAUDEL. I've known that Frank has been dating Brandi for quite some time, but didn't know they were engaged already. I wish them the best of luck.

Also, anyone know anything about Linda and her new man, Craig?

Craig Wollman is a voice-over artist based in New York. He has done narration for programs on Animal Planet, which may be how Linda met him...or she may have helped him get the work from her own Animal Planet "Trail Mix" connections.

Sounds like Frank had something going on on the side behind Linda's back...?

Is it really appropriate to suggest what either party may have done? I swear, some of the comments on this and other boards are no better than tabloid journalism. I rarely post on theater boards due to some of the venomous or slanderous comments that are often injected, especially when it comes to Wildhorn.

I wish both Frank and Linda all the best.

How did I, the #1 "Passions" fan not know Siren the Mermaid was engaged until just now? Brandi (Siren)has a beautiful voice. She sings her "Siren" song hoping to seduce Miguel and Fox often on "Passions".

Jimnysf, maybe you didn't know until now because you have been blinded by the light in the piazza?

She looks young enough to be his daughter. But if they're happy, then good for them.

Some of this is really inappropriate speculation. To make it worse, it's offered by a few who should know better.

Even I wouldn't go there with this having interviewd and coverd these 2 for years. Maintaining respect for someone's personal life staying private is the decent thing to do. Please, think before you speak.

I wouldn't comment on their private life, but I will say that the mermaid costume would fit nicely into a Wildhorn show.


PEACE.
