Randy Harrison, star of Showtime's hit series "Queer as Folk," is set to make
his Broadway debut as Boq in the Tony-nominated musical Wicked. A representative
for the actor told Playbill On-Line that Harrison will replace Christopher
Fitzgerald for five weeks in the hit musical, playing the role June 22 - July
26. Harrison will be a temporary replacement for Fitzgerald, who heads to the
Williamstown Theatre Festival next month.
Harrison, who received his BFA in theatre from the University of Cincinnati
College Conservatory Music, made his Off-Broadway debut in the MCC production
of A Letter from Ethel Kennedy and also starred in the International Fringe
Festival production of Deviant. His other theatrical credits include Shopping
and Fucking, Violet, Hello Again, Children of Eden and 1776. Harrison can currently
be seen as Justin, the young gay artist, on Showtime's "Queer as Folk" series.
With a score by Stephen Schwartz, a book by Winnie Holzman and direction by
Joe Mantello, Wicked features choreography by Wayne Cilento and plays the Gershwin
Theatre, 222 West 51 st Street. Tickets are available by calling (212) 307-4100 or
