Aaron took a break from Les Mis duties to fly back to New York and participate in the annual Broadway Show League! Although he isn’t performing on Broadway this season, he has joined the Rock of Ages team. (If you remember last year’s games, ROA competed against Catch Me If You Can for the title.) The game took place on Thursday, April 26th, with ROA scoring an impressive 18-3 win over Newsies. Photos from the event have been added to the gallery.

In case you aren’t aware, the BSL happens every year at Central Park. Numerous cast and crew from current Broadway productions join together over the summer season to play softball, which anyone can watch from the sidelines. If you’re interested in catching a game, check out the schedule at BSL’s official site and head over to Heckscher Ballfields for some ball. Aaron will be playing on Team Rock of Ages again starting in June.

ATF has a strict policy on not posting non-set related candids, but Aaron Tveit couldn’t be any more in character in these new pictures. This is our first look at Tom Hooper’s vision of Enjolras in the upcoming Les Miserables! Bearing a modified but no less impressive version of the iconic red waistcoat, he stands on (presumably) Lamarque’s hearse with revolutionary red flag in hand. At his side is Eddie Redmayne, playing Marius in the film. You can also some clips of the filming below:

Daniel Sunjata – Aaron Tveit’s co-star in the upcoming Jeff Eastin series, “Graceland” – tweeted some interesting pictures earlier today. In the first, he mentioned that Aaron was with the pilot’s director (Russell Fines) at the house the television series would be based in. Look at that view, overlooking the Pacific! Along with the second picture, Daniel tweeted “rehearsal again.” With this information, can we assume that the new show will start filming soon — perhaps before Aaron returns to the UK to shoot Les Mis? We’ll see!

News has been pretty quiet recently, so how about some pictures to fill the void? I’ve just added fifteen more production photographs from Calvin Berger to the gallery! They’re extremely high-quality images from a small musical Aaron Tveit did back in 2007. Many thanks to a dear friend who pointed them out to me. (There are a few new headshots, too.) Enjoy!

Aaron Tveit Fan has a whole new look, courtesy of the incredibly talented Flor at Sweet Revelation! She’s been so patient with my and my orders, but I’m thankful for it because of her amazing skills as a designer. I feel like the new theme has a bit of a baseball feel, no? Be sure to check out the new layouts over at the Gallery and on ATF’s Twitter as well.

Do you hear the people sing? ATF can exclusively confirm that Aaron Tveit has arrived in London for Les Misérables rehearsals! Filming reportedly starts on March 5th and will carry through until May 20th. In case you missed the news, Aaron will be playing the student revolutionary leader, Enjolras, in the Tom Hooper-directed movie adaptation of the famous Claude-Michel Schönberg musical.

Aaron is joining an all-star cast, led by Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert. Eddie Redmayne will be playing fellow student revolutionary, Marius Pontmercy. Others involved include Anne Hathaway (Fantine), Helena Bonham Carter (Madame Thénardier), Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Samantha Barks (Éponine), and the legendary Colm Wilkinson as the Bishop of Digne. Sacha Baron Cohen is rumored to be playing the corrupt innkeeper, Thénardier.

Les Misérables is expected to be released December 14th.

Many thanks to Eric at Leighton Meester Fan for the HD caps.

Aaron Tveit’s final episode of “Gossip Girl” aired yesterday, January 23rd. Did you catch it? What did you think? Was it a fair farewell to the conniving Trip Van Der Bilt, or did you wish there was more to the story? Over 130 HD, logoless screen caps from the episode – entitled “Father and the Bride” have been added to the Gallery. There shouldn’t be anything particularly spoiler-y about them, so peruse and enjoy!

Short but sweet update: Back in October of last year, Aaron Tveit had the distinct honor of singing “God Bless America” at the second Yankees vs Tigers game of the American League Divison Series. Pictures of the event have been dug up and, consequently, can now be seen in the Gallery.

According to young-adult fiction author Lisa McMann’s official Twitter, Aaron Tveit will once again be narrating an upcoming audiobook. This time, it sounds like he’ll be the sole reader behind McMann’s new novel, Dead To Me, which will be released on February 7, 2012. A summary can be found below:

Ethan was abducted from his front yard when he was just seven years old. Now, at sixteen, he has returned to his family. It’s a miracle… at first. Then the tensions start to build. His reintroduction to his old life isn’t going smoothly, and his family is tearing apart all over again. If only Ethan could remember something, anything, about his life before, he’d be able to put the pieces back together.

But there’s something that’s keeping his memory blocked. Something unspeakable…

In an article reporting on Sacha Baron Cohen’s addition into the upcoming, Top Hooper-directed movie-musical adaptation of Les Miserables, The Daily Mail also had this to say:

Broadway actor Aaron Tveit has just been cast as Enjolras, the heroic student leader who heads the march to the Paris barricades.

ATF can officially confirm that this is not merely a rumor; Aaron has, in fact, been cast as Enjolras! This is such exciting news to break, Aaron having been on my personal dream cast to play this very character in the movie adaptation. Hopefully the role will create a huge Hollywood (and Broadway) splash. Congratulations, Aaron!
