Before he was a world-famous mime, Marcel Marceau was just a young man in Nazi occupied France in 1943. In the face of military occupation, Marcel joined the French resistance, smuggling Jewish children from an orphanage in southern France to safety and freedom in Switzerland, and using every tool at his disposal to keep them safe from the Nazi officers hunting them (and their families) down, finding joy when surrounded by fear.
Marcel on the Train is the story of one of those train rides.
I am unbelievably proud of this play, and hope you’ll get a chance to see it. We start performances @classicstage in a week! tickets in bio

Overwhelmed with gratitude at this amazing cast and company bringing Marcel on the Train to life, and I cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on!

I’ve got something to confess-a…. 🪓
In 1997 (July, apparently) I made my performing debut in a neighborhood community theatre and now I get to do this with the most unbelievable group of people — from toto to boq. I can’t believe it.
Marcel on the Train opens TONIGHT at @classicstage
A journey that started with just me and Marshall over 4 years ago now continues with not only this brilliant company on stage and backstage, but with audiences every night. Thanks doesn’t even come close enough, I am really overwhelmed with gratitude.
Thank you New York, from the bottom of my heart 🪓
I’m so grateful for this movie, to be a part of something so special, that has meant so much to so many, and so much to me ever since I saw it here in New York on Broadway in 2004.
To get to share that with fans across the world is a unique privilege that I will never take for granted, and to finish that journey back home in New York was the cherry on top.
Thank you @jonmchu , thank you @wickedmovie , thank you to everyone, and (especially today) thank you New York.
