Hugh Panaro to star in Walnut Street production

I have no idea why they spelled his name wrong in his hometown, but...Hugh will be playing Jean Valjean in the new production at Walnut Street this summer.

I've known about this since he auditioned back in November and it's been one of my dream roles for him as long as I've known him.

ahhh, nooo this makes me so upset!

I wanted to be the ensemble of that show so badly, you don't even understand. haha!

I will definitely be seeing it...I think my tickets are for mid-May.

Wished I lived there!
I would try to get front row! I would love to see Hugh his voice so so silky and he seems like a very loveable guy.

Rule # 1 - Never sit in the front row when Hugh is performing. He's one of those actors who spits a lot. And I do mean a LOT. He nailed me right in the eye the first time I saw him in "The Phantom of the Opera" and it's become a little running joke.

I still can't describe how thrilled I am about this. I've been in touch with the show's publicity people and it's going to be a pretty exciting time with his web site, I think. I'm looking forward to it.

See, it's times like this that makes me wish that I wasn't a Canuck...oh well, I can hope for some Youtube clips in the near future...it'll definitely be interesting to see Hugh play Valjean... Applause

OK, I've been talking to the PR people at The Walnut and we're going to do an interview with Hugh via e-mail.

I've put together a list of questions, but I'd also like to get some questions from Les Miz fans.

I'm not sure how many I will use...and some might be duplicates of ones I already plan to ask. But if there is anything you'd like to ask Hugh about Les Miserables and his new role, here's your chance. I'll take a few general questions for him, too.

You can post them here, at the HPN message board , e-mail me, or message me here.

I'd like to send the questions on to Hugh by Friday...so think fast!

Thanks!
