Nice job, Cathi and Bryan.

Bryan, I enjoyed the story about “Silhouettes”, and I think it’s good you “branded” yourself as a bit of a renegade by not precisely following the directive (ala Tommy), thereby separating yourself from the other candidates. I’m wondering, though, if you took the next step with an updated “cyber” version of the lyrics, i.e., “you’re on the wrong Blog” instead of “you’re on the wrong block”, etc.–I guess not–then you WOULD be playing Bob Gaudio!!!

Another great one Cathi. I saw Bryan as Tommy twice in SF and he was amazing. Not only is he a great actor, but also a really nice guy. I can’t say enough good things about him. Chicago is lucky to have him!

Just a fantastic interview, Cathi. Again, you captured the essence of Bryan as we saw him perform several times and chatted even more times at the stage door with him. Just a terrific performer. I love this guy, bad knees and all, and I especially love how he auditioned and did it HIS way!!

Very well done, Cathi! I really enjoyed Bryan’s interpretation of Tommy when I saw him a few months ago. He’ll swoon the Chicago audience just like he did in San Fran. He’s a great actor.
