Broadway Boys: Mr. September 2010

A year ago, I announced my very first Broadway Boy, Mr. September 2009, Aaron Tveit, at the time making a real name for himself in next to normal as Gabe, and moonlighting on the hot teen nighttime soap, Gossip Girl.  Since then, he's gone on to a leading role in the forthcoming Catch Me If You Can.

So it seems only fitting that a year later, I salute another young Broadway talent, currently starring in one of Broadway's biggest hit money makers, The Addams Family.  After a Theatre World Award-winning debut as Franz in the still running hit show Rock of Ages, this talented guy's name has been on everyone's lips, joining a small group of up and coming "it" guys and gals, many of whom have been celebrated on this very blog, in similar style.

Whether he is doing the red carpet thing, posing for Out magazine, or doing New York in style with his boyfriend and cast mates, Mr. September looks poised to become a great big Broadway star!
