Gorgeous Men of Broadway... and a few Off - Broadway too!!

Being a girl, I tend to think about cute guys a lot. And I love musicals, so a few days ago, I came up with the BRILLIANT IDEA to combine 2 of my favorite things: cute guys and musicals!!! I had a lot of fun coming up with a list of people for this blog. I decided to post their name (of course), picture (DUH!!!), and their Broadway (and some Off Broadway) credits. At the end of the blog, I have also included some of my friends (and people that I know mutually through other people) that are actors (who are VERY talented) who are also not too hard on the eyes. Let me know what you think, if you feel like it. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this blog. I know I did!!!

Um, yes please. I LOVE Barret Foa. (He's my very favorite as well... well, it changes from like, day to day, but he's in my top 10) I was SO excited because I was going up to New York and had tickets to Avenue Q... and I thought he was still in it, but he had left for Spelling Bee like, the WEEK before. I was SO upset. (Oh and please, Adam Pascal made the list but no Anthony Rapp? C'mon now!)
