You guys, in the lore that is Giuseppe Bausilio, this new interview rises quickly to the top! He hit this one out of the park, did such a great job talking up Cats The Musical, and even talks Billy Elliot The Musical a bit, too!

You can click ahead to about 5:21 to see where Giuseppe comes in:

The Billy boys of Cats continue to get great publicity! Both Giuseppe Bausilio (Broadway, North American Tour) and Corey John Snide (London, Australia) are featured in this fun new piece on the Wall Street Journal!

Giuseppe just posted some unsettling news on his public Facebook page and an Instagram video. He announced that he is not going to be able to perform for a while due to a recently discovered medical condition. Characteristically, he announced with an upbeat and positive attitude, but it must be scary for him and his family. I spoke to his mom Sonia and she confirmed that he is going to a world recognized specialist for this type of condition. He stated that he has a vascular mass, or tumor, in his lower spine, but he hopes to be back performing as soon as possible.

Here is the link to his video:

Please send him your good wishes and positive energy.

That is terrible news. I hope Giuseppe recovers quickly.

On a happier note, this is a fantastic article in GQ Magazine about how he maintains his fitness for this show:

Giuseppe has posted an update about his medical condition. It sounds serious but the outlook is positive. Wishing him and his doctors all the best!

I'm ok!! I'm home now and resting after I got angiogram done yesterday. Doctors were able to determine that the tumor/mass is NOT getting its blood supply from my Spinal Cord! Which is great, and should make the surgery a lot easier. Only downside, I'll be going under 3 full general anesthesia in under 2 weeks. Which is a little risky. But I'll be ok! On Wednesday night next week they are going to Perform an Embolization, and remove the mass/tumor, Thursday Morning! I'll be at the Hospital for 2-3 Days. 2-3 weeks before I can start Physical therapy. And then I'm back at it again in 1-2months completely! Thanks for all your love and thoughts!
