Some former guests include Billy Porter (Ghetto Superstar), Shelley Thomas (Zanna Don't!), Eden Espinosa (Brooklyn), Rhett George (Sweet Charity), Shoshana Bean (Wicked), Michael Longoria (Jersey Boys) and a cavalcade of his fellow Wicked castmates.Thomas, who is in the Wicked ensemble and who understudies the role of Boq, is a Grammy Award-nominated recording artist, and a "Star Search" Champion ("most widely known as "the guy who beat out Britney Spears with a perfect 4-stars performance!"). Thomas made his Broadway debut in The Secret Garden when he was 11 years old.Videos
