WTC View

If you're in NYC next Sunday, you may want to check out the reading of the play WTC View at Player's Theatre in Greenwich Village.

Michael Urie, who plays Marc on Ugly Betty and who originated the lead role in the play back in 2003 and starred in the film version a few years after that, will be reprising his character. Jason Tam, who plays Markko on One Life to Live and who completely blew me away with his audition for the role of Paul in the revival of A Chorus Line and who went on to win that role, will also be in the cast.

I saw the film version on DVD a couple of years back and I thought that Urie was very good in it. It revolves around a traumatized New Yorker trying to find a new roommate in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

I'd love to see what Jason Tam could do in this play, even in a reading. It looks like they're planning to mount a new stage production in 2011 as well, so maybe this weekend he'll be reading a role that he could end up playing in a full production.
