“Hello, Dolly! has been such a special show from top to bottom, so receiving the Robe for this production feels like the sparkliest cherry on top of an already perfect Broadway sundae. The Robe ceremony is truly my favorite of Broadway traditions. It was a particularly special ceremony because our company has five Robe recipients within our cast. It is an honor that will never be lost on me to be among the legacy of performers who don the robe and make those three counter-clockwise circles around the stage. How lucky am I to represent both Holiday Inn and Hello, Dolly! on this season's robe.”

Fun Fact: “In the past few years I've taken back up my childhood-band hobby of playing the clarinet and (NOW), the saxophone. Both instruments live in my kitchen and my sweet girlfriend indulges me most mornings while I play renditions of "Moon River" or "They're Playing Our Song" while she makes coffee. And no, I'm far from being John Doyle ready, but it truly has become such a fun hobby of mine. I'm sure our neighbors are thrilled.”
