Roger Bart's Career (87-97)

I was reading different sites about Roger Bart and I am really curious what he did between 1987-97. He made his Bway debut in Big River in 87 and wasn't on Bway again until 97 (King David/Triumph of Love). And, he didn't do Hercules (his first film job) until 97 as well.

All I can find is an off-bway credit in 89 and the German tour of Who's Tommy and a TV credit playing George Carlin's son in 94.

He couldn't have only done 3 jobs in 10 years, could he?? Any regional jobs/tours that anyone know about? Just curious.

National tours. I know for sure the following.

Bud Frump in How to Succeed tour
Cousin Kevin in the Tommy tour
Dickon in the Secret Garden tour

& lots of regional leads....

He was dating Diane Fratantoni as a profession at that time, I believe...

He was a great Whizzer in Hartford Stage's March of the Falsettos/Falsettoland in 1991.

He sang backup for Jonathan Larson's one-man version of "Tick Tick Boom". On the companion DVD of the "Jonathan Sings Larson" CD there are several tracks where you see a very young Bart over on the side singing the harmonies.
