Exclusive Photos: A Day with Women on the Verge Cutie Justin Guarini

Justin Guarini is giving a standout Broadway debut performance as Carlos, the charmingly nervous son of Lucia (Patti LuPone) and Ivan (Brian Stokes Mitchell) in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. For those who know him only as the runner-up to Kelly Clarkson in the first season of American Idol, Guarini’s ease on the musical stage is a happy surprise. Shortly after Lincoln Center Theater's production opened at the Belasco Theatre, the rising star invited Broadway.com photographer Jenny Anderson to join him for a morning walk with his dog Blue, a stop at his favorite organic juice bar and backstage at the Belasco, where he shared his pre-show transformation (including eyebrow enhancement).
