OH SNAP — After a successful run in Altar Boyz, former So You Think You Can Dance contestant and Queerty Wish Lister Neil Haskell — who, for the record, has not publicly said he’s gay — has taken his routine to the stage of Dolly Parton‘s 9 to 5, the still-standing critically “ho hum”-d show starring Allison Janney and Megan Hilty. (Neil’s in the ensemble, and he began last Tuesday.) Whatever, it’s an excuse for us to share photos of the boy wonder at Atlar Boyz‘s fourth anniversary party at Hooters in February (which we’re just hearing about because we’re sooo behind the theatre times). Also, it’s Neil’s birthday on Thursday!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Who is the guy on the left in pic 3?

You have to see Neil in live action to appreciate how hot he is. These still pictures don’t do him justice. But I’d like to do him! LOL
Jake
Oh, I didn’t see the fourth picture. Look how uncomfortable he is with the Hooters’ skanky whores. How adorable.

Clearly uncomfortable. I will say that the routine he did with Sabra to Sweet Dream Are Made of This on SYTYCD was absolutely brilliant. I still watch it on my Tivo from time to time. He is extremely talented.

Hi Queerty. Not to go all Musical Theatre Homo, but it is not accurate to say refer to 9 to 5 as “still-standing critically ho hum-d show.” The musical has not yet even opened on Broadway (it will do so on April 30th). While it is true that the reviews for the out-of-town production were fairly ho-hum, the whole reason for doing out-of-town productions is to allow the artists involved to see what they have and to make changes, additions and subtractions to make it better. Allison Janney, by the way, received rave reviews for her performance out-of-town.
And, not that it matters, but Neil is straight.

Where the hell has Danny Tidwell been hiding? : (

Or Nick Lazarrini (sp)?

@AJ: That would be Landon Beard. He used to play Luke (the part Neil played in ALtar Boyz.)
Em
@AJ: the guy on the left is Landon Beard. He is a former Altar Boy who also played Luke

Saw the show a few months ago. I didn’t realize that somebody from So you Think You Can Dance was in it until the dancing, he was so much better that We took a closer look and were like “That guy looks familiar”, took us a few minutes but realized it was Gay-Neil. his acting was as good as the others and his dancing was through the roof, he should do well on Broadway. I wonder if his hetrosexuality will last as long on Broadway as Clay Aiken’s did.

He is a great guy in person. His mom is great also. I saw him in the show over 20 times. Many of the current cast is gay. The party was great and it was fun.
