Openly gay 25-year-old Harper Watters first began dancing around age five “purely because I had so much energy.” He now dances with the Houston Ballet’s main company.

Dancing is a silent art form, says Harper Watters, but his success at Houston Ballet has taught him that he has a voice. “There is a lot of power in words,” explains the out 24-year-old dancer in the company’s corps de ballet. “I have been solely focused on being a dancer, but I realize there is so much more I want to do, and feel like I have to offer.”

Actor Benjamin Walker recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Watch him and the cast of the hit Broadway show, "American Psycho: The Musical" perform the show's opening number, "Selling Out". It's a catchy tune and he's a sexy, shirtless hunk. What's not to like?! :) Enjoy!

"It’s a long, long way from the Australian outback to the lights of Broadway, especially when you try to make it in a tacky tour bus driven by three ditzy drag queens, but Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical, currently in previews prior to an Oct. 26 opening at the Princess of Wales Theatre, proves it’s possible to make the journey," writes Richard Ouzounian.

Writer/director Stephen Elliott started the whole thing with the screenplay he created in what he describes as “two mad weeks of desperate inspiration” about a trio of misfits who took their tacky cross-dressing routines into the desert. Priscilla, by the way, is not any of their names (stage or otherwise), but the appellation given the on-her-last-legs bus that ferries the lads around. READ MORE

Writer Drew Rowsome discovers the art and heart of Broadway hunk Nick Adams in this new profile:

Nick Adams rolls his eyes and blushes fetchingly when his unofficial title — “the hottest man on Broadway” — is mentioned. The triple-threat budding star is either surprisingly modest or a much better actor than even the casting director of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert — The Musical realizes.

Growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, Adams came to Toronto for theatre fixes and fondly remembers being “10 or 11” and seeing Beauty and the Beast at the Princess of Wales Theatre. Now he’s occupying a star dressing room in the same theatre. “It’s a dream come true,” enthuses Adams. “All I ever wanted to do was create a role in a new Broadway show. And Priscilla is so over-the-top and fun, but underneath all the spectacle there’s a lot of heart. They’re all looking for love.” READ MORE

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert — The Musical runs till Sun, Jan 2 at the Princess of Wales Theatre, 300 King St W. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Info: mirvish.com and nickadams.biz

"Nick Adams will be playing the lead role of Felicia/Adam in the Broadway bound Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The musical will make its North American debut for a 12 week run in Ontario beginning October 12, with plans for a spring 2011 Broadway transfer. Adams will join previously announced stars Will Swenson as Tick and Tony Sheldon as Bernadette in the leading roles," reports Broadwayworld.com

I love this! Check out Broadway star, Jackie Hoffman (Addams Family, Xanadu, Hairspray ) as OLD LADY GAGA.

Look for Broadway's hunky Nick Adams, too!

Also appearing in the Alejandro parody video are: David Hull, Michael Mindlin, Brian Patrick Murphy, Constantine Rousouli and Brian Spitulnik. Well done, guys and dolls! Watch the video below!

Broadway's Nick Adams is currently starring in La Cage aux Folles and recently spoke with the New York Post about his workout routine.


How Broadway's Nick Adams stays in shape:

The show: "La Cage aux Folles," for which he dons tights as Angelique, the most agile of the drag queens, Les Cagelles. Check out his one-armed pole dance.

The workout: Daily visits to Gold's Gym for 90-minute sessions; abundant ab work and twice-weekly dance classes.

"My routine's specific to each show I'm doing," says the 27-year-old, whose biceps caused waves in a recent revival of "A Chorus Line." (When Mario Lopez joined the cast, Adams' character was forced to put a sweatshirt over his T- shirt so as not to upstage him.)

"I focus on one muscle group or body part each day: one day, chest; another day, biceps; then triceps, shoulders and back to chest. I also do 120 crunches at the gym, and another 120 in the dressing room, plus backstage stretches. And I take a ballet class at the Broadway Dance Center a couple of times a week."

Onstage workout: "Three jump-splits in one number, plus assorted nonstop acrobatics and running around. I also carry Sean Patrick Doyle's character, Chantelle, around the stage. He's probably the thinnest Cagelle, but very strong."

Diet: "I lost 5 pounds when we started; now I have a 1,500-calorie shake before the show. My friends call me The Garbage Disposal, because I'm constantly eating to keep up my weight. But I try to avoid fried foods -- they make me tired."

Bottom line: "I don't take any illegal substances; it really is just eating and hard work. The gym and dancing, that's all it takes. I don't believe in that other stuff."

My crush of the day is American actor, Chris Carmack. He's probably best known as Luke from the now defunct TV series The O.C.

Carmack has been keeping busy honing his acting chops by appearing in the Off Broadway production of Entertaining Mr. Sloane (pictured left). Carmack's co-stars were Alec Baldwin, Jan Maxwell and Richard Easton.

Carmack made his London stage debut in a rare revival of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke, a play unperformed in London for 55 years.

Most recently the handsome actor guest-starred on TV's Desperate Housewives (playing Susan Mayer's cousin Tim).

Chris Carmack's film career continues with Butterfly Effect: Revelation, which is scheduled to be released in theaters in January of 2009.

Eric Martsolf, better known as Ethan Winthrop from NBC's "Passions" is set to play 16 performances at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA production of the musical "Li'l Abner" starting February 5 and running until February 17. Eric is known for his chiseled body on the soaps BUT he's not just another pretty hunk actor, in fact, Eric is an accomplished musical theater star having received rave reviews for his comic portrayal of the Pharaoh in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

I love these cute pics of Eric in his "Li'l Abner" costume (see below). I remember seeing the film version as a kid. Handsome actor Peter Palmer was "Li'l Abner" - I kinda had a crush on him - sigh. Eric's co-star in "Li'l Abner" is the lovely actress Brandi Lynn Burkhardt better known as Siren from NBC's "Passions". It should be a fun show!

For tickets, please call the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310/825-2101 or visit www.reprise.org.
