Noah J. Ricketts, we’ve been singing praises since you were on Broadway playing the hunky Kristoff in Frozen! Thoughts of you kept us warm all winter.
When you played Frankie in the Peabody-winningFellow Travelers, you reminded us all of the beautiful authenticity and resilience that Black queer people have lived with throughout history. Fellow Travelers gives those who came before us their flowers, honors their memories, and makes sure future generations will know that there have always been people like us fighting for rights — but also finding love, feeling joy, and living happy lives.
In a cast that boasted dreamboats like Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey, and Jelani Alladin, our eyes kept going to you. When you got in drag and performed “Santa Baby,” we felt like kids on Christmas morning. Now that you’re playing Nick in The Great Gatsby on Broadway, all we want to do is dress dapper and party with you! Thank you, Noah, we love you.
