Luke Macfarlane to play F. Scott Fitzgerald in "The Jazz Age"

Nothing says "Good morning, sunshine!" like the mental image of one of primetime's cutest gays dressed up in spats and gloves, stinking of gin and causing all sorts of mischief at home and abroad.

So imagine my delight when I read this news on Playbill that Luke Macfarlane (Brothers & Sisters) will be heading the cast of the LA production of The Jazz Age, playing great American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The play apparently looks at the tumultuous personal lives of Fitzgerald, his troubled wife, Zelda, and equally volatile author Ernest Hemingway, "punctuated by the pulsating beat of a live musical trio." Well pardon me for saying so, but if I were in the audience sharing oxygen with a dolled-up Macfarlane the musical trio wouldn't be the only one producing a pulsating beat!

Wait ... I don't think that came out right...
