You know what’s better than a Tony award nomination? Seeing the meaningful impact your work has on young people. I was blown away by the talent @p53k_nyc a school dedicated to serving students with diverse learning needs- helping them thrive, & confidence & independence. I am so very honored & grateful to the administration & director Rachel Owens & the team for having me. #monstersongs is such a personal project & seeing how it has resonated over the years with different cultures, experiences, identities & abilities has been one of the highlights in my career. @mymonstersongs@monstersongs_vr@davidoneillart@namt_org@concordshows #wemadeamonsterbaby
Happy trails to the UK tour of @percyjacksononstage as they take their final bow tomorrow @curve_leicester It’s been an incredible journey many years in the making. Huge thanks to @geelizzi for taking such care to make this production so special along with @laightyboyy & all the other Incredible designers and artists that help make this iteration. Thank you @bklproductions & @paul_taylor_mills for believing in the piece. 10 years on, our scrappy rock musical is one of the top 25 most licensed musicals, with nearly 2k productions globally in places like Japan, Germany, Australia, UK, China and every U.S. state. More importantly, in schools all over -it is many young people’s first introduction to musical theater. It’s a testament to #rickriordan & @theaterworksusa how the story & musical continues to give back. Congratulations to this phenomenal cast, and to all the casts from the West End production who breathed life into iconic characters. Some may deem YA stories (and genre in theatre for that matter) as inconsequential but I would argue that they actually have an enormous impact affecting the way we process the world & give us the inspiration to take agency and discover who we are. #bringonthemonsters @joetracz@ltmusical@concordukshows@concordshows #thelightningthiefmusical @centerstagercds
