The play is in August, Nick can still go to NYC to do some Broadway there, plus Sam Barks is going to NYC soon.

Nick said in previous interviews he loves NYC and broadway and you never know when he'll be back. who knows he could surprise us like with les mis!

Voice of reason said:

Though, to be particularly biased... Darren Criss would've made an amazing Link. (;

Out of all the three boys I always felt like Nick had the most potential, and then seeing him play Marius, I knew I was right.

So, I'm happy for the guy. He obviously enjoys acting and he definitely is not terrible at it.
But, I still see Darren as Link, and that's not going to change anytime soon, that is unless - Nick J knocks the role out of the park.

Joe hoes here's the latest on Joe's single

Joe: The song is about a relationship ending that you’re trying to get over, but at the same time you’ve got mixed feelings of how you’re just fighting everything of seeing that person whether it is a box of clothes that are hers, or if it’s just something in your mind that brings you back to that moment. You’re trying, you don’t wanna see any more. It sounds like a sad song, but it carries a cool beat to it.

Hope Nick does not fail at this role. Samantha was very protective over him and would never let anyone say a bad thing against NIck. Saw her last week when she was at an awards ceremony and she was asked about NIck, like the professional she is, she said lovely things about him and Le Mis. Sam is not going to NYC yet, she is going to LA , late June. My daughter is a huge fan of hers, so we do follow her. We have met her and she is so beautiful and so talented.

I'll seen Hairspray on Broadway and I've always seen Link Larkin as very Elvis Presley-ish. Something that I always felt Zac was a bit lacking in but maybe it's because they pull "It Takes Two" from the movie. Anyways my point is, if Nick can channel a young Elvis, he should be fine

Oh, and nice job on the pic OceanUP. Way to pick a photo of Nick when he was tired. Why wouldn't you post the photo V-man Magazine took of him with his hair slicked back 50's style. I swear whoever runs OceanUp is purposely trying to make fans dislike him.

He'll probably have to practice a lot but I'm sure he'll do fine. Plus if he messes up, it's a big group number so it won't completely ruin the show.

Actually Nick didn't get all bad reviews in Les Mis. It was a mixture. Most of the reviews that were "bad" compared him to Michael Ball. Anyone who took on the role of Marius would have been compared to MIchael Ball.

He was on pitch and did a tremendous job as Marius. He was the youngest actor (by almost 8 years) to ever take on that role in one of Cameron McIntosh's productions.

I'm proud of Nick for wanting to challenge himself and try new things. For everyone complaining about how Nick can't dance or act, maybe the reason he decided to take on this role was because it would give him a chance to learn to be more comfortable doing those things.

If he did the same things professionally or sounded the same with his music all the time, he'd never grow as an artist and he knows that. He should be applauded for taking chances and growing instead of trying to continue to ride success out on one sound like some artists do.

Exactly.
Plus, you guys can't say he sucks at dancing or that he can't be loose or anything like that, because nobody has never seen him dance in a way he is told to.
I honestly will think he will do GREAT.
