The lone U.S. graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art’s class of 2019, Jamie Bogyo, 29, has been landing only plums. Off his first professional audition, he copped the male lead in the original London cast of Baz Luhrmann’s jukebox hit Moulin Rouge! The Musical. For his second act, he’s sharing top billing with the West End icon Michael Ball in Aspects of Love, that male-chauvinist soap the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (who also wrote the book) reportedly reckons a personal favorite. Bogyo appears as Alex, the part that Ball played (as a Brit) in the original production; now Ball has graduated to George, Alex’s uncle, a generation older. Announcing Bogyo as his successor, Ball told the papers, “He’s tall, good-looking, sings like a dream, and is half my age … I hate him! He will be amazing.” For the record, Bogyo’s top note in the show is higher than Ball’s, which brings down the house. —Matthew Gurewitsch
