Broadway Celebrity Sighting - Corbin Bleu


Wednesday in Manhattan is "Matinée Day", because most Broadway shows have a 2:00 pm matinée followed by the usual 8:00 pm evening performance.  And since the performers, musicians and backstage workers don't have much time between shows - they traditionally stay close to the Theater District.

Tonight after work, while walking home (yes, that's EVERY DAY - 7 1/2 miles - this week), I passed Corbin Bleu on 8th Avenue.  Bleu, of High School Musical fame - is currently featured in the musical In The Heights - and was obviously in-between performances.  I first noticed him as part of my usual "Oh, there's a cute papi" continuous radar ("Papidar")- but I quickly figured out it was him.  Corbin, who was alone, noticed my staring and gave me a "Keep it movin', Big Boy" look.  I guess he was just not that into me...

I am here to report that Corbin Bleu, 21, is EXTREMELY cute (although I thought he would be taller for some reason).  Unfortunately it was chilly today in NYC, so he was way more covered up than in these pictures...
