The Gallery has been updated with pictures from past special events. There are now pictures of Roger at the Farewell Party of The Frogs, Chicago’s 6th Year on Broadway and the Opening Night of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Click on the thumbnails below to go to each album…

Roger was mentioned in this week’s Ask Playbill article about theater workshops:

(…) While songs are being added or dropped, and whole chunks of the script rewritten, sometimes it becomes obvious to the creative team that a character is extraneous altogether. Spring Awakening, for example, went through many phases that included a character called the Masked Man (played first by Roger Bart and later by Michael Cerveris). Even though the Masked Man appeared in the original Wedekind play, his presence and purpose in the musical began to feel redundant to the creative team, and the character was eventually scrapped.

It is Roger’s birthday today! He turns 46 and we’d like to wish him a wonderful day. Happy Birthday, Roger!

In May, Roger was a guest on Seth Rudetsky’s Broadway Chatterbox. The DVD of this interview is now for sale through the Chatterbox website. It’s approximately one hour long and definitely worth purchasing. The cost is $20 per disc and all profits go directly to Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.

Two new promotional images for Young Frankenstein have been added to the Gallery. Click on the thumbnails below to see the full versions…

Roger has confirmed that he is scheduled to stay with Young Frankenstein until November 16. If you have not yet seen him as Frederick Frankenstein, or if you’d like to see him again, you can buy tickets through Ticketmaster.

Over 90 Bram & Alice screencaps have been added to the Gallery. They’re from the first three episodes: the Pilot, Cat Burglar and Paul-Pot. Roger played Paul Newman in this series which also starred Alfred Molina and Traylor Howard. Click on these thumbnails to see the screencaps…

FearNet is set to debut Midnight Meat Train, based on the Clive Barker story, on its FearNet On Demand channel and FearNet.com. Barker will host the showing, premiering October 1 on VOD and online October 30.

Rumor has it that the DVD will be released in the US around Halloween.

Please note that Roger will not be performing at the upcoming Broadway On Broadway concert.

Furthermore, Roger was mentioned in a recent Playbill article about Young Frankenstein: “The original male leads — Roger Bart in the title role, Shuler Hensley as the monster, Fred Applegate as Inspector Kemp/Hermit and Christopher Fitzgerald as Igor — remain with the production.”
