| A) Yes. Yes, by finding his casting as this role in this production, I am "advocating" for the "end of his career"... your ability to read between the lines of my post is truly uncanny. B) Yes. Sue me. We don't agree. I do wish he got cast less. He is cast A LOT. In mostly very major productions. I personally do not think his particular talents and abilities as a performer warrant him being cast in them all over other people or at the expense of other talents we don't see SO often in these roles. I'm not saying he shouldn't have a career or that other people don't clearly enjoy him way more than I have... but I'd also say, if I were a Tony voter he definitely wouldn't have gotten my vote for Something Rotten. Perhaps for Peter and the Starcatcher but possibly not. For whatever it's worth, we don't ALL like the same performers and we don't all agree with what the Tony's do, and we don't have to. Love him or don't love him, I think it's pretty hard to argue that there aren't more exciting and creative ways to cast the Baker than with him. |

| In 2016, he was announced as Willy Wonka. That’s the last one. | |

| What are you talking about? In the 2016 - 2017 season, he did "Falsettos" followed by "Willy Wonka", and according to IBDB he was with that show until January 2018. I don't agree with Chazwaza that Borle is overexposed, but your response is just nonsense. | |

| Hasn’t been cast since. In other words, no one has made the decision to hire him in 5 years. That’s what Chazwaza had a problem with: hiring him. And it’s not like they’re haven’t been roles for him. He is suitable for Tootsie and Mrs Doubtfire. This idea that he’s getting all the roles is wrong. | |

| Really? Not cast since 2016?? Someone better tell everyone over at LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (not to mention City Center (ME AND MY GIRL) and about a half dozen or so different TV shows). | |

| Borle hasn’t been cast on Broadway since 2016 when he was cast as Wonka. Read the whole exchange before responding. | |

| Yeah, we read it, we just think it’s nonsense. Yes, you’ve created a very specific wording that is technically true (and also ignores that theater has been dead for 1.5 years), but that metric means pretty much nothing since Borle has been working non-stop (even while theater was dead for 1.5 years) and the original complaint wasn’t “Christian Borle is always being cast in Broadway musicals”. | |
