Revealed: My Personal Obsession

Neil Patrick Harris, gay celebrity

It’s just been announced that Neil Patrick Harris will join Patti LuPone and Anika Noni Rose in the New York Philharmonic’s concerts of Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Company” April 7-9. The concerts, to be directed and produced by Lonny Price, will feature conductor Paul Gemignani.

“Company” follows five married, once-married, and soon-to-be-married couples and their mutual friend (Bobby, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris), who is still single and unable to connect in a long-term relationship.

Harris is openly gay, announcing it in 2006 by saying, "I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest..." Harris, age 37, is a prominent and popular actor, singer and magician. His career has skyrocketed since coming out.

With partner David Burtka (photo below), with whom Harris was been in a relationship since 2004, the men are raising fraternal twins, born October 12, 2010, via a surrogate mother. Black and white photo of Harris from Rolling Stone magazine.
