I love that he's just here to have a good time

[@KHobbies_cina]

That costumes must be so comfortable and he laying in bed, best show to work as an actor.

[@wowsara4481]

Kenneth Ho as it may appear comfy, the bed itself is very small. It’s maybe a full sized bed, and having four people in one bed is very cramped.

[@idkpotato9649]

The costumes also look very ichy because they look to be wool.

[@travisroyrogers9083]

you need to have one of these on christian as willy wonka before the show closes

[@katherinehunt2199]

I second this

[@professorx3430]

He was the best part of this show other than Christian borle

[@tss6295]

These are my favorite videos that you guys do!

[@pomehanate]

same!!!

[@HanahS.]

I want him to be MY paternal grandfather too 😄 he's so funny 😆

[@stressmuffin]

I’ve had the honor & pleasure to see John perform as The Wizard here in Los Angeles’s The Pantages Theatre production of Wicked. He was wonderful as The Wizard. That’s so cool that he rides his bicycle to work.

[@ekgauntner]

wait... he wears a wig?

[@jordannickel-dubin9851]

He was my Wizard when I saw Wicked at 8 years old

[@MaximilianoAedo]

He was also in Wizards of Waverly Place as the dark angel overlord Gorog, and he was in a number of anime series too (The Big O and Ghost in the Shell SAC). It's even amazing that he's still doing voiceover roles, especially in the recent Fire Emblem games.

Same same

[@lindsrosey2980]

Such a nice and humble man.

[@kathrynnpetersen8876]

What is the difference between maternal and paternal anyway and the reason why i want to know is because I am confused between those two.

[@nssquared9174]

Ma: your mother's side. Pa: your father's.

[@coldhazzard]

His voice is the best!

[@saraht8003]

I met him in August and watched him leave no his bike

[@laurapitner7573]

[@legendspryzenplays387]
