I finally got off my butt and to the theater. I've missed it. Badly.

Yay for seeing Jeff, though! He's one of my actor-friends, and so far, Billy Elliott is the one Broadway show of his I've not seen him in. I need a job so I can afford to get back up there!

Yeah, he's got a great voice. What else have you seen him in?

I met him when he was understudying Valjean in the LM revival - first time I saw a Valjean younger than I was, which creeped me out for about ten minutes and then didn't matter again because he was fantastic. Then after the revival closed, he was a swing in the Sunday in the Park with George revival, and he was able to go on for Santino Fontana a couple of times as the Soldier/Alex - I had a head's up when Santino had to take a show off in order to watch because he was understudying Daniel Evans. The icon is from one of those performances and yes, I gacked the picture off facebook *g*. I wish I could have seen him as Franz/Lee Randolph, but I don't think David Turner was ever out.

Jeff is married to Nikki Renée Daniels, and I'm so glad she got Promises Promises because it's so much nicer for them when they're both working in the same city. (they met doing LM. They are so incredibly cute and I love them both.)
