New Project = New Adventure

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!

  1. Hi Kevin, not sure if you would remember me. I was the hair and wig designer for Big River, both in NY and the tour. Congratulations on your role in B & C. I also designed the hair and wigs for that at La Jolla. I'm hoping to join the company again in FL. If we don't see each other there, I'll definitely see you in NY. All the best, Carol Doran. wiggedout@mac.com
