Breaking: Cheyenne Jackson skates to the rescue in Xanadu
Remember how earlier today I said that, seeing as how infuriatingly pinchable (and openly gay) Cheyenne Jackson turned down the role of Sonny in the Broadway adaptation of Xanadu when it was first mounted, chances might not be the best of his taking over for recently-injured James Carpinello?
Well that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I do not play the Lottery.
For those of you not familiar with Jackson's work, he played gay rugby player Mark Bingham in United 93 and starred in Broadway's Elvis "jukebox musical" All Shook Up (which Xanadu takes a few shots at, coincidentally -- likely because the two shows share director Christopher Ashley). Congrats to Cheyenne on the new role and to the producers for committing to making Xanadu the gayest show in the history of the stage. Looks like I'll be going to see it -- again!
