"I have dreamt of being a Broadway ensemblist since I was a little boy. I would come to shows and find that one person in the chorus who had that something special. A sparkle behind the eyes (something I came to learn while training under Ann Reinking at the Broadway Theatre Project… a SECRET). I have looked up to and aspired to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jerry Mitchell, Rachelle Rak, Ken Allen, Tyler Hanes, Mary Ann Lamb, Katie Weber, Spencer Liff and my very own Nick Adams (to name a few). As members of the chorus we don’t have many opportunities to be recognized for our work. To receive this Robe is one of the greatest gifts and honors of my career. To be able to share this moment with this cast, crew and creative team is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Little Kyle would be so proud."
