It must be cold outside somewhere. I mean, it is January in the Northern Hemisphere. And I live in Vermont. As I type this, it is a balmy 36 degrees, with only a slight chance of flurries over the next few days. Still, it must be cold someplace.
Or maybe it will be cold another day, and you can come back to this page. Why? Because this update on the Broadway Boys features two of the hottest guys chosen for the honor - How to Succeed's Charlie Williams and Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom Kitt.
Let me start with what I promise will be the LAST reference to the holidays until at least November:
 |
| Merry Christmas! |

| Happy New Year! I love 2012 already! |
Isn't the holiday season the best?
Since being named Mr. Broadway April 2011, Charlie Williams has remained with How to Succeed, plus he assisted Christopher Gattelli with the choreography for the Paper Mill Playhouse production of Newsies. (No word on if he'll be doing the same for the Broadway production...) And most recently, he was a dancer on the 2011 Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Barbara Cook. Here are some leftover photos from his last photo essay. And he is as cute as ever!

Since being named Mr. Broadway for the entire year of 2010, Tom Kitt has remained busy. He has worked on the now touring (and possible Broadway-bound) Bring It On: The Musical, and has overseen the launch of the National Tours of both next to normal and American Idiot. And, of course, he is working on several musical projects, including In Your Eyes, with his next to normal collaborator, Brian Yorkey. As unlikely as bipolar disorder was for a musical topic, In Your Eyes has an equally challenging topic: the show takes place at a school in lock-down over a gun man in the area. Could be interesting... definitely interesting.
