I am so glad to have seen him twice, in his first two performances as Billy. He is a real 'find'. I will post more after I recover from driving from just south of DC to Florida today (800 miles)!

Gunar won't be wasting any time looking for a new show after BETM closes. He has already been cast in the title role in Media Theatre's Peter Pan And Wendy: A New Musical, which will play January and February. Congratulations Gunar!!!

So much for 'bit' of well-deserved R&R! Gunar, who finished his run as Billy Elliot a week ago, January 10th, is cast to star in The Media Theatre's Children's Series production of the new musical Peter Pan and Wendy: A New Musical, which opens January 23rd (until February 28th):
