AARON'S BEEN CAST IN THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

No, I'm not going to LA now. XD

edit: I'm poking google, and found out that Nick Wyman will be playing Barsad, and that the show will be in the Hirschfeld theatre in September. I've set up a Google Alert for "A Tale of Two Cities Broadway" to hopefully catch more casting

HOLY SHIT! Please tell me it's Carton he's been cast at? That show has such gorgeous songs, I'd love to hear Aaron sing them! Am a bit bummed, but not surprised they didn't go with James "Please Have a seat over there" Barbour who for all his creepiness did have a great voice - but YAY AARON. I can't wait until it opens!

[mmejavert]

I haven't been able to find news other than the Playbill article which says he pulled out of the Hollywood LM because of being cast in it. :D :D :D

Rest assured I am a-googling.

BECAUSE YES HE NEEDS TO BE CARTON. NEEDS.

[lamath]

Holy gods yes. I honestly hadn't considered Aaron playing the part before, but the more I think about it, the more perfect those songs are for his voice! I can practically hear him singing them now!

[mmejavert]

Seriously? Ever since I heard the news of Tale coming to Broadway, I've been (silently) praying for Aaron to be cast in it.

You can't imagine how much squeeing I am doing right now. XD

[josiana]

Oooh, groovy. :D I kind of want to see it now.

[mmejavert]

:D Yes. :D Eee.

[shawk]

If he is replacing Barbour (which wouldn't be surprising), I wonder if they are recasting Derek Keeling, because he and Aaron look nothing alike. Curious!

[mmejavert]

God, I hope he is. That would make so much sense. I mean, who else would Aaron be cast as?

[mmebahorel]

That suggests that Derek Keeling and James "Hello, little girl" Barbour looked anything alike.

[shawk]

Well, they look more alike than he and Lazar do. But the obvious choice would be John Stamos, since Derek Keeling looks like a cut-rate John Stamos anyway.

Oh YAY!!!!!

When I first saw the title on playbill, I was like, "Oh no! I hope Jenn didn't buy her tickets yet." Barricade boys are so much better when they are so easily accessible!

[mmejavert]

Tickets don't go on sale for Hollywood Bowl until this Saturday. Gee, Aaron, what fantastic timing. XD

Yay for boys on Broadway!

[ladybranwen]

I guess since I wasn't planning on seeing it, I had no idea when the tickets went on sale. Good timing, indeed!

We need more of them in regular roles. None of this swing stuff. Although, I really must write a message to Jeff telling him that as much as I love him, please don't go on for another month or two. Then maybe I can afford it again!

[mmejavert]

Yeah, I pretty much can't afford anything on Broadway, as much as I want to go see Glory Days and Phantom... I just can't. all my moneys must be saved for Aaron this fall. XD

[zoicite]

oh yay! i saw the Playbill headline while at work and in passing wondered if you had been planning to go to that, but didn't have time to click the link and read. Very exciting!

[mmejavert]

Haha, it's usually best to assume that I attempt to go to anything Aaron's in, if I can get enough advance notice to plan for it ahead of time. ;)
