Here's a really nice article about Michael, who is set to open in Muny's production of The Addams Family playing Pugsley. In the article, he talks about his experience playing Michael to Tade's Billy, with a nice shoutout for Tade:
Playing Michael, Billy's best friend in the season opener, was a memorable experience for several reasons. He could relate to the story, and liked how they remained loyal friends, and his scene-stealing "Expressing Yourself" number was his favorite dance to date.

He gained valuable insight working with 14-year-old Tade Biesinger, a Broadway veteran who played the title character.

"He was humble. He didn't brag. He had manners," Harp said. "Even though he was older than me, he didn't ignore me like some other older teens normally would do. He noticed all the other little kids too. He was nice to everyone."

It is really wonderful when local press follow up after a tv debut of a former Michael, who was seen on last night's Chicago Fire. The full episode ('Red Rag the Bull') can be seen on http://www.nbc.com/chicago-fire, or on Hulu. He can be seen after 19.00 minutes. (Warning: extremely graphic.)

I don't watch the show as a rule, but in channel surfing, I happened upon the exact scene that involved the emt's dealing with the accident and A J's part in the scene. Having read about Michael being in the episode, I realized I was seeing his big moment, and I was happy that I happened upon it.

The role of Michael will be played by Michael Harp, who played that role at The Muny in June last year.
