Finian's Rainbow Opens on Broadway

Last night the cast and crew of the Broadway revival of Finian's Rainbow celebrated their rave reviews at the Bryant Park Grill. David Hasselhoff, who is almost as familiar with Broadway as he is with a red bathing suit (having played Dr. Jekyll and Edward Hyde in Frank Wildhorn's 1997 production of Jekyll and Hyde), was one of the guests.  The tall, dark and handsome star of Finian's, Cheyenne Jackson, said "Oh look, you're actually taller than I am," when posing for a picture with the Knight Rider star. Apparently, Hasselhoff loved the show, and his favorite song, funnily enough, is called "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love, I Love the Girl I'm Near." I think it might have hit home for him. Moving on from 2007's cheeseburger-in-a-Las-Vegas-hotel-room episode, he said he's been working with Wildhorn on a project for the stage.
