I'm super excited to say that I've officially accepted the role of Ted in BONNIE & CLYDE this fall at Asolo Repertory Theater in Florida. I was a part of one of the first readings in NYC back before the 2nd act was finished. Ted is one of the deputies in a small town who happens to be in love with Bonnie. After seeing his feelings are not returned, he has to join and eventually hunt down the notorious killers, B&C.
The hope is that the next stop for this production will be Broadway. Below is the announcement on the Asolo website. The production is directed by Jeff Calhoun with whom I worked on Big River, my Broadway debut back in 2003. I'm glad to have another opportunity to create something new again! I actually had to turn down the role of Sky in MAMMA MIA on Broadway in order to do this. I may be crazy, but I wanted to see B&C through to completion and hope that MM will have a spot for me again down the road.
This business is never dull!
