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
