Asking him his current crushes was a stupid question. We are not teenagers.

Sydney James Harcourt is the voice behind one of Castlevania Nocturne characters. An animated series with an incredible sountrack.

I used to know Sydney in school. Sat behind me in Spanish class. He was definitely bullied, as I was, but was funny and always a cool cat even then. Congrats on your achievements!

Their description of the experience w/ Jellicle Cats reminds me of seeing The Gospel at Collonus at BAM, another piece of theater deeply rooted in the Black Experience.
PS Rosie sexuality can be fluid.

It’s like Rosie never left a TV show. She came back so naturally and organically like there was never a 20 year hiatus. That’s cause she has the gift of communicating and that never goes away

I've been a regular NY theatergoer for 30 years. That was genuinely the sexiest performance I've seen on a stage.

An 80 year old woman lusting over this young guy is cringe. If this was an old man talking to a young woman like this it wouldn't be acceptable.

Those were four incredible days! I loved Rosie in A League of Her Own so much and I’ve just always loved her, but these past four days have been absolutely fantastic – enjoyable and heartwarming! Thank you, Rosie! ❤🌹❤️

We love you Rosie. You are the best. Great job this week on Jimmy K.
When you are ready, you should get your own show! Just NOT ON CBS PLEASE. 💞🌻💞

I touched him! Last May I traveled from California to NYC to see five Broadway shows in five days. Jellical Ball was one of the highlights. Immediately after the show I was standing at the back of the orchestra, all alone and in a bit of a daze, when I noticed Sydney James standing at the back also, chatting with someone. Not completely in my right mind I brazenly inquired of him "may I touch you?", tapping the back of his wrist before he could even react. Then I vanished into the night, on a cloud of my own making. Should mister Harcourt read this, I apologize for invading your personal space, but the debbil made me do it.
