So proud to be part of this extraordinary, revolutionary production. I am eternally grateful to @andrewlloydwebber and @davidandrewwilson for entrusting me with the music. I am overjoyed that the incredible work of everyone involved has been recognized, with a special shout-out to the amazing orchestration and sound team: @dougschadt , @treviyd , and @haradasound , as well as @marcfisher3 and Dana Haynes.
Most importantly, I want to acknowledge the heartbeat of the show at the Broadhurst, the magnificent Jellicle Ball orchestra, @catsthejellicleband . They are making beautiful music under the stage every night and bringing this iconic score to life in a truly legendary way.
Back at Masquerade on a beautiful day, getting ready for the return of the outdoor show. Who doesn’t love a little rooftop drama?

I was back at Good Morning America this morning, this time with Cats: The Jellicle Ball, following a recent visit with Masquerade.
3:00am wake-up calls and the cast still brings the room to life. Also so proud of our incredible JB orchestra! And the GMA team captures it all so beautifully.

What an honor to have Jinkx Monsoon at the show as guest judge last night! She was exquisite as always and, as she put it, “no notes for the orchestra.” We’ll gladly take it. 🤣✨@thejinkx
Getting ready for my favorite part—sitzprobe is tomorrow!
Quiet before the music begins. Cats: The Jellicle Ball.

It’s time for Country Hits! Can’t wait to be back with the Sarasota Orchestra and some of the best musicians and singers from Nashville, including Rick Brantley and Grace Leer. Really enjoyed being interviewed by Scott Ferguson for Sarasota Scene magazine. Concerts are at 8pm on Friday and Saturday at Ed Smith Stadium! /magazine/sarasota-orchestra-goes-country-outdoor-pops-concert-brings-nashville-hits-to-the-ballpark/
What an amazing time at SUNY Dutchess working with their incredibly talented music and theatre students! Huge thanks to Jonathan Gorst for having me recently as a guest lecturer for his History of American Musical Theatre class.
I had the pleasure of diving into the life and genius of Leonard Bernstein before sharing about my own journey as a conductor. Then, a vocal masterclass with 5 wonderful singers, each bringing their own spark to the stage.
Can’t wait to do it all over again! Until next time, SUNY Dutchess!

Wonderful reunion with Nancy Maria Balach! She brought along three incredible current students from the Ole Miss Music Department, and it was such a pleasure to meet and talk with them about music, careers, and my journey after graduating from the University of Mississippi. Their enthusiasm and talent were inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for them!
They will be performing tonight at Steinway Hall, and I know they’re going to be amazing!
