Favorite Cover Boy of the Week: Brandon Rubendall on NEXT
Last weeks cover boy for Next Magazine is one of the hottest men currently gracing the Broadway Stage, actor Brandon Rubendall currently seen as a lead dancer in one of the most exciting and talked about production in years, 'Spider-Man Turn off the Dark' .
Brandon has been a favorite of mine since first seeing him performing in Broadway Bares Solo Strips. Brandon has such an incredible body and face, so tall and his intoxicating dance moves (watch a bit below) and personality will make you a fan.

Brandon makes his Broadway debut in Spider-Man but has performed in local and national productions of Hairspray, West Side Story, Altar Boyz, 42nd Street, Crazy For You and the Radio City Xmas Spectacular. Brandon can also be seen in various commercials including one for C&A (Brazil) featuring Beyoncé and in The Big Gay Musical.
Unless you live under a rock you know the past year has been one filled with turbulence for all those involved in the Spider-Man production. Stops and starts, rewrites, firings, injuries (including a foot inury for Brandon). Through all of this the cast has grown stronger and Brandon has been a positive force, supporting his show and his cast since he began rehearsals a little over a year ago. This week 'Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark' finally officially opened and although the reviews were not all great, most noted the improvements in story and production and agree it is an exciting night of theatre.
