How coincidental that this 42nd Street opening be overshadowed, as the OBP'S was when Gower Champion died the afternoon of the opening night and David Merrick informed the audience and the cast of his death with a dramatic curtain call announcement.

"Police were actively looking for him, and pulled him over in his Ford Bronco."

We're talking about Reagle Music Theatre, a very small summer-stock regional theatre. So.... no, definitely not.

Being accused of sexual assault has ruined so many white men's careers, I simply cannot think of just one.

You don't have to admit to possessing cocaine. You just possess it.

Actually it is a serious subject and very sad if indeed it is proven that he violated another person.... But dang... have to wonder if he is some kind of Trump supporter - - "grabbing her by the P...y."

You don't have to admit to possessing cocaine. You just possess it."

He pleaded 'not guilty' to both charges - the drug charge and the sexual assault charge. He did admit he 'flirts' with women and likes to be friendly with his costars, but has never done anything which is considered sexual assault. He was freed on $1,000 bail.

Actually, he admitted to the police that the cocaine was just a small portion of a larger amount he keeps at home in a "sandwich hefty bag".

Hope he gets the help he needs, probably a nice guy when sober.

It is. She was well reviewed in the Boston Globe for the role.

And I happened to be next to Wopat at a sports bar in West Village a few years back -- we were each rooting for our teams on adjacent TVs. He was very nice, it may have helped that I didn't let him know I knew who he was, it was just football.

York has performed with Reagle quite often. I saw her in their Into the Woods a few years ago.

Their stuff isn't Broadway worthy, but it's quite good. But, from what I've seen, very straightforward and expected.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Really you didn't get that they where joking!

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Apparently not. You figured that out, though. smiley
