Another note for the author of this press release: Calling Jacob Gutierrez the ''current star of 'Aladdin' on Broadway'' might give the impression that Gutierrez is starring in the title role, when in fact he is in the ensemble and understudying the roles of Aladdin and Omar. Adi Roy took over the lead role of Aladdin last June, following Michael Maliakel, who's sung with this American Pops before. Maybe scheduling kept Roy and Maliakel from doing this event.

For those who remember PBS' ''My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies'' special (1999), it's great to see these guys get a shot of this TV spotlight.

I'm proud to say three of them did our ''Leading Men'' concerts for Broadway Cares in 2005 and 2007: Telly Leung, Norm Lewis and Matthew Morrison. Our programs then also included: Cheyenne Jackson, Jai Rodriguez, Christopher Sieber, Max von Essen, Jonathan Groff, etc. Wonder what happened to them? ;)
