My Best Friend’s Wedding at Ogunquit Playhouse. Telly Leung (George Takai’s Allegiance, Aladdin, Rent) joins Matt Doyle (Company) and Krystal Joy Brown (Merrily We Roll Along) to bring the 1997 rom-com to life with the help of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s music catalog.

Leung plays George, gay BFF to Julianne (played in the film by Julia Roberts). Critics are raving about Leung’s performance, with Broadway World‘s Dan Marois writing that Leung “is a natural comic … His rendition of ‘What’s New Pussycat,’ is like no other you have ever heard or seen.

You will never experience the song in the same way after seeing Leung’s version.”Queerty caught up with Leung just before opening night to chat about the production, his favorite theatermakers, and onstage mishaps.

And members of the GOP, finally presented with a candidate who doesn’t rant about rally sizes, were overjoyed. In fact, one could say they snapped their collective fingers and yelped out the ultimate affirmation: “YAASSS JD KWEEN!!!”At least, “yassification” seemed to be on the mind of one Republican official: Georgia Rep.
