\u2018My Gay Roommate: Reloaded\u2019 Announces New Cast Members<\/b><\/p>\n

\"my<\/p>\n

As we previously reported,<\/a> popular web series My Gay Roommate<\/em> is currently being adapted into a full-fledged TV pilot. With a Kickstarter campaign now underway, creator Noam Ash <\/a>has announced a slew of new cast members joining the series, most of them being young Broadway stars that have already made a name for themselves.<\/p>\n

\"4206db55f0ec1881b708b40b0f837343_original\"Andy Mientus (SMASH, The Flash, Les Mis)<\/i>, TONY Nominee Jenn Damiano (Next To Normal<\/i>), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Quantico, On the Town<\/i>), Julia Murney (Wicked)<\/i> Kathryn Gallagher (Spring Awakening<\/i>), Scotty Dynamo, Mike Heslin (Younger, War Horse<\/i>), and Savion Smith (The Get Down<\/em>) all will lend their talent to the pilot re-boot of My Gay Roommate<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The reboot will be a re-imagined and expanded half-hour version of the web series that adds new characters and storylines to the ones fans are already familiar with.<\/p>\n

Ash told Towleroad of the new cast members, “It’s an all-star Broadway crew.”<\/p>\n

“As My Gay Roommate<\/em> is a highly theatrical show, it made the most sense to us to bring in the people who do that best,” Ash explained. “We also intentionally cast gay<\/a> actors as straight and straight actors as gay<\/a>, emphasizing our social commentary that there are no ‘gay<\/a> stories’ and ‘straight stories’ only human stories.”<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already, check out the Kickstarter video<\/a> for My Gay Roommate: Reloaded<\/em> below and consider supporting here<\/a>. The campaign has just 6 days to go so now is a great time to support.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
