After what could have only been a tumultuous period of tech and previews, the broadway version of Xanadu opens tonight with bona fide hunk (and sweetheart) Cheyenne Jackson taking on the role of Sonny. While Cheyenne played the role opposite Jane Krakowski during the workshop process of the show, he's returned to the production since James Carpinello was injured and unable to perform.
Break a leg tonight, Cheyenne... just not literally.
UPDATE: I meant to provide some links to the other coverage and interviews Cheyenne has done regarding Xanadu and being an actor and such... check these out!






What a great idea Chris!
Great to see Chey here today. I had the pleasure of seeing Xanadu already. Get to it now, run, don't walk, hell skate to it.
I don't wish James any ill will, but lets hope Chey has a long run with the show.
