Don't know, haven't heard anything but that would be a fantastic honor for him, I hope nothing is found to the contray.

I just got an email about the Boy from Oz, apparently tickets for the show on Broadway are now selling. I didn't realise it was happening so fast, that's very cool though, I'm sure he'll do a good job (although you've got to feel a bit sorry for Todd.)
