Ah Paris! For a week and a half, I rehearse an abridged version of my new show THE DOUBLE-THREAT TRIO with the wonderful company of Broadway au Carré, led by wunderkind actor/producer Lisandro Nesis and presented at the Comedie Nation! Directed by Amanda Bestor-Siegal and featuring Nesis, Lauren van Kempen, Sylvain Mathis and Alyssa Landry.
I got to revisit one of the greatest artistic experiences of my life: the stunning show THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA by Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas, in which I appeared ten years ago at Lincoln Center and for the following year on national tour. This reunion concert brought together the entire original cast — and because Matthew Morrison was unavailable for some of the rehearsals, I got to play Fabrizio opposite Victoria Clark and Kelli O’Hara!!
Check out this music video of my song “Almost the End of the New Year,” directed and shot by Ken Webb, hosted on BroadwayWorld.com!

POPESICAL, a winner of the Overall Excellence Award for Musicals, returns to the Fringe Festival by special invitation! Five more performances of this crazy conclave of cardinals, with the entire original company back to reprise their papal performances! This time at the Soho Playhouse, where once again we play to sold-out houses at every performance. Alleluia!

A week and a half in paradise at the inaugural Bingham Camp Theatre Retreat! A spectacular and beautiful new place for the development of new musicals, the Retreat is founded and led by Devanand Janki, who directs this fully staged workshop of CALL IT COURAGE, set against an idyllic backdrop of a huge valley brimming with fall foliage. We wake up every day, breathe in the crisp Connecticut air, and get to work! Culminating in two public performances on the 3rd and the 4th. The unbelievable/magnificent cast includes Tiffany Chalothorn, Silvan Friedman, Jeigh Madjus, Kelsey Ryan Moore, Luis Mora, Graham Stevens, Anne Fraser Thomas, Hansel Tan, and Tobias Wong. Music direction by Yan Li.
