I always thought that Joe would be great in LSOH, and now it is happening.

Here's a little about him:


Joe matriculated at Yale University, performing in student musicals and singing in two make a capella groups, the Yale Alley Cats and the Yale Whiffenpoofs, the oldest a capella group in the nation. Singing tenor and serving as emcee for the Whiffenpoofs, he has performed for Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. He graduated magna cum laude from Yale, and soon found himself on the road again, joining the group for a whirlwind tour that included concerts in 19 countries on four continents.

After returning to the U.S., Joe embarked on an acting career and soon landed his first break when cast in the first national tour of the Broadway musical, Titanic. Touring the country for a year as First Office Murdoch, Joe's role demanded that he be "responsible" for sinking the ship every night.

In New York, he has performed in the Encores! Production of The Pajama Game at City Center. He also recently participated in the developmental musical workshops of Disney's The Little Mermaid and Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Joe's experience also includes regional theater, most notably two shows at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut, where he played leading roles in their productions of A Little Night Music and King of Hearts.

Oh my god! Alright I'm sorry but when I went through my Trading Spaces phase I became a fan of his and saw an episode where he was singing and was really quite impressed with his voice but never figured I'd see him further it, let alone in one of my favorite shows! Ahh this makes me very excited! Now all we need is a superb Audrey. Although already, I"m making it a point to go see this show the minute it comes back to the LA area.

Dreamcatcher:
Did you not like Tari Kelly's Audrey? I thought she was great!

Oh no, I loved Tari Kelly! I saw her with Jonathan Rayson in Costa Mesa and they blew me away. What I meant by the comment was that we have a great new Seymour, now we just need a great new Audrey to complete the picture. Sorry for the confusion!
