Quick update! I will be taking over the role of Harold Hill in the Lexington Theatre Company production of THE MUSIC MAN! I just got the call yesterday and flew to Lexington today. I am thrilled to be asked back to play the iconic role at such a wonderful institution, and I'm especially delighted that for the first time since we met, Sarah and I will be performing together! A working honeymoon! Can't thank director James Vasquez and the entire production staff at The Old Globe enough for making this brilliant casting choice! Come see this lovely show and get in the holiday mood! Shows begin in early November and we play through December 29th. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS at The Old Globe this upcoming holiday season. Hope you can come see me play one of my favorite roles!Īs I am getting ready to watch the talented, beautiful, funny and smart Sarah Meahl walk down the aisle toward me and say 'I Do' next month, I am also preparing once again to revisit DR. This time it will be for several months at Goodspeed Opera in CT where I last played Trevor Graydon in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLE back in 2017. Now I'm gearing up to start rehearsals next month for THE MUSIC MAN! I'm very excited to be returning to the role after the brief visit I had with it last July with the Lexington Theatre Company. I'm excited to see what the future of the project will be! We had our presentation last week and it was very enthusiastically received. John Ridley (Academy Award winner for 12 Years A Slave) wrote the book and Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter of The Roots was the composer. Upon my return to NY, I immediately started rehearsals for a workshop/reading of a new musical called BLACK NO MORE, based on the 1931 satiric novel. The program was the songs of Jerome Kern, and the second act was an abridged version of SHOWBOAT in which I sang the role of Ravenal. At the end of January, I braved the frigid temperatures (-22!) of the polar vortex and was thrilled to sing with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra over a long weekend. However, she is now fully immersed in rehearsals for the Broadway revival of KISS ME KATE! I have also kept busy with a couple of projects in this new year. Sarah and I had an amazing time at The Old Globe this past holiday season, and while our 'working honeymoon' was fun, we're hoping for a real one soon.
