Does anyone live in a hometown or town that a bway performer lives in or lived in??
I just was reading Young Peter Allen's bio from The Boy From Oz (no I am not obsessed) who is played by Mitchel Federan and it says he lives in Solon, OH which is right next to me! Also Gavin Creel lived about an hour away from me.
Christian Borle's parents live in the same city as I do...hehe- and I go up to where Hunter and Sutton were born (Augusta, GA) every year because my dad sings at a synagogue there for the high holidays (hehe...thats where I first sang in public- a duet with my dad when I was like...11 or 12...fun times)- I'm going up soon and I'm gonna try to scope out the Augusta Players...thats where Sutton appeared in Annie...
I'm not sure about any Broadway performers, but I do know that Lisa Whelchel (Blair on The Facts of Life) used to live very near me...probably about ten minutes away. But I think she's moved recently...to like, Texas or something.
Oh- Ashley Rosem Orr- who played Gretl in the revival of the Sound of Music, was in Annie Get Your Gun and Les Mis- and also played Shirley Temple in the made for TV movie Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story- used to live here. She was in a bunch of my dance classes and I'm really good friends with one of her really good friends....does that make sense? hehe
The real Peter Allen was from the town of Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. Hugh Jackman was raised in Sydney, Australia but lives in Melbourne.
