Title: Casey 41 8-1-08 View count: 5138 Rating: 4.75 (12 ratings) Description: Billy Magnussen's one busy guy. He's got his awesome day job as Casey Hughes on "As the World Turns," a cool band called The Dash, and now -- a super-hot role in "Paper Dolls," the New York stage debut by playwright Patrick Huguenin. "Paper Dolls" explores the innerworkings of celebrity scandal, and tells the story of how gossip columnist Claire Cunningham (played by Jen Jamula) and her movie star brother, Austin (played by Billy), team up to rock the pages of the New York City tabloids. http://soapnet.go.com/soapnet/search/path-type_all/tag_billymagnussen Lively Productions and Métropole Ink are proud to present the world premiere of "Paper Dolls" as part of the 12th annual New York International Fringe Festival - FringeNYC. In his New York debut, New York Daily News columnist and playwright Patrick Huguenin goes behind the scenes of celebrity scandal. Performances begin Wednesday August 13th at the Players Theatre (115 MacDougal Street).Gaye Taylor Upchurch directs a cast that features Allison Goldberg, Jen Jamula, Billy Magnussen (AS THE WORLD TURNS), and Ashley Morris ("Die Mommie Die!" with Van Hansis). Magnussen made his Broadway debut in The Ritz and currently stars as Casey Hughes in the daytime drama As the World Turns. David Newell will serve as costume and scenic designer, with lighting design by Lucrecia Briceno and Julia Meinwald composing original music. Here are some pictures of the cast with Billy Magnussen and the girls. http://baltimore.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=30250 Anyone who includes carpentry among his interests has to be quite an interesting fellow and As the World Turns has been blessed with the very interesting Billy Magnussen as Casey Hughes since January 2008 fresh from his Broadway stage debut in the classic comedy, The Ritz, starring Rosie Perez. As a member of that cast it is particularly poignant because it was a hit originally a hit in 1975 when the sexual mores of this country had not yet been effected by the HIV virus. This Queens native who was raised in the Deep South brings to Love Out Loud a new wave of talent, along with cast mates Van Hansis and Wolé Parks, who are lending their names and energies to HIV and AIDS awareness—young people who don't know a world without this disease. It is reassuring that this young man is involved in raising awareness as well as helping out with a fund raising effort.
