Since it just came out in Playbill I can now say that Josh Segarra is joining the cast of Around the World in 80 Days. Josh replaces Bryce Ryness, who is going into the Broadway musical First Date. Bryce was awesome in my show and I wish him loads of broken legs on First Date.

Josh starts on July 2. He recently starred as Boland in the Off-Broadway musical Dogfight at Second Stage Theater, directed by Joe Mantello. He has appeared in the Emmy-winning Showtime series “Homeland,” the Fox series “The Following” and was a series regular on PBS’ “The Electric Company.” His film work includes roles in “The Music Never Stopped,” “The Ministers” and “The Narrows.” He also played Mick in the Off-Broadway and Broadway runs of Lysistrata Jones.

Welcome to the show, Josh.

FYI: The show is running at the New Theatre at 354 West 45th Street. For ticket call (866) 811-4111 or click here.
