I've heard that Cheyenne Jackon's run in All Shook Up is over in December. He is the perfect "Chad", who do you think would also make a great "chad"??
i'm stumped

Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:00pmNo one could replace him, he is one of a kind! Other people who would do well in the role? I don't even want to speculate!

its hard to imagine an ASU without cheyenne as chad

Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:04pmIt is however entirely possible to imagine Broadway without "All Shook Up" by the time Mr. Jackson's contract is up.

Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:14pmGaynor is in the CHARITY ensemble right now, and he is the Vittorio understudy.
#11re: who could replace cheyenne?
Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:16pmI was so happy to see him in Charity! I saw him go on for Boy George as Leigh Bowery in Taboo; a part that nobody would ever really put him up to play, and he was WONDERFUL.

I agree that once Cheyenne leaves, that's it for ASU.
Btw, I love William Robert (Bob) Gaynor. He's a really strong singer, dancer and actor, not to mention the fact that he has terrific stage presence. (His entrance as Radames in Aida and drop to his knees during Fortune Favors the Brave was even better than Kushnier's.) Why doesn't Bob ever get cast as a lead? Maybe it's the bangs.
And is it true that he wants to be a country singer?
Here he is with Christina, although for some reason, one of his eyes looks kinda wonky.

Posted: 8/17/05 at 11:06amLets stunt cast the part! It seems an easy fit for any of the boyband refugees, or an American Idol contestant..:) (NOTHING against Cheyenne or ASU, but it practically screams stunt cast!)
