And the cast is HOT!
Uber-hottie Matt Cavenaugh (A Catered Affair, Grey Gardens) is Tony as previously leaked.
The totally fab Karen Olivo (In the Heights) will be Anita.
Loved her in In the Heights and I only wish she returned to do Hair this past summer but I guess she won't be taking on that Broadway revival either now that she's in this one!
Cody Green will be Riff.
Who is Cody Green you say? Well, he's done Moving Out and Grease on Broadway but I finally figured out where I've seen him before. He was the Canadian hottie and eventual winner of the cheesetastic Step It Up and Dance!!!
George Akram (The Farrelly's Stuck on You) will play Bernardo.
Broadway newcomer Josefina Scaglione (from Buenos Aires) gets the coveted Maria lead.
Also of note, cutie petewtie Curtis Holbrook (Saved, Xanadu) will play Action. Mike Cannon (A Chorus Line) will play Snowboy, but Paul McGill who was rumoured to be in the cast is nowhere found on the list. Sad, I was so excited for him. (UPDATE: Oh wait. It's cause Paul is currently filming the Fame movie remake.)
Still, I can't believe Canadian boy Cody Green got a leading role, especially after Step It Up And Dance with Elizabeth Berkley. Who knew it had actual cred?
