Hey Everyone,
Happy aaaaalmost Memorial Day Weekend!
Aloha to LOST
It's been 4 days since LOST has ended and I feel so alone in this world without it... so I'm reverting back to what I know - and that's whoring myself out for the next thing I'm promoting :)
No Day But Today
I've spent the last couple of months in rehearsal for a Regional Production of the Rock Opera RENT over in Haddonfield, NJ. I've met some great friends and have had the privilege to share the stage with an amazingly talented cast.
RENT defined Broadway in my mind... I saw it / heard it in the 90's and have been waiting for a chance to be a part of it since. And so here I am, a week away from opening, and looking for your support!
It's not your typical "musical"... combine a rock show with a gritty, inspiring, hopeful storyline that's set on Manhattan's lower East Side in the late 80's / early 90's. It follows the lives of 8 friends over the course of a year through love, loss, disease, individuality, hope... the music will blow you away and the story is both heart wrenching and hopeful. Seriously. If you're not moved you have ice in your heart and well, I can't help you there.
Our Cast
Brian Bortnick (formerly of Octane and now signed to BeePhonic music working with Chris Sligh of American Idol Fame) stars as our ROGER DAVIS. He's puuurttty good.
Ed Corsi (Founder of The Loop and member of The INTERNS) is our Mark Cohen. He also flirted with landing the role on Broadway so he's got it down pat.
The cast also features seasoned performers who have performed in National Tours, Commercials, Television Shows... our own Erika Schiff of the Melanie Rice Orchestra sung the National Anthem at Citizens Bank Park for the Phillies not too long ago... Why am I hyping everyone up?! Point is this cast is crazy talented and deserves to be seen!
I'll be playing several different roles through out the show... I make a mean drug dealer (you'll see... it's creepy).
