GIULIA ❤️

We closed a month ago?? Still hungover from the joy of doing this show this summer. There was something alchemical about this cast and this music. I love these people down… and I miss that WIG.

standby: an off-stage actor hired to cover a single, highly demanding lead or star role.

THANK YOU to our fearless leader @jennifernettles for entrusting me with the responsibility of standing by for her in @giuliamusical - a powerful statement of feminine rage and action, and the role of a woman with extraordinary depth and passion, not to mention fierce songs. whether it was watching in the rehearsal room (with BOTH pair of glasses🫠#old), singing the sitzprobe so that she could hear the orchestrations layered onto her beautiful score, or stepping in during tech to support the company, it was a process and journey unlike any I’ve had before.

rarely does a role come along at the exact right moment, but this was one of those. we are in a time of awakening amongst women - no longer having patience for bullshit or patriarchal confines that we’ve lived in for so long, and this show feels immensely timely, not just for women as a collective, but particularly for me, myself. not a coincidence, I’m sure. from the first audition last year i’ve been obsessed with Giulia, her story and her voice, and it was an honor and a privilege to be a part of her power.

to JN, our director Mary Zimmerman, choreographer @austinmccormickxiv, MD GENIUS @adam_rothenberg, @adamzoto, @jesschase19, @pac_nyc and a company of creatives (🙌🏼 @lizovich & @myav.mp3), stage management and cast that kept me laughing and feeling beYOND supported from the jump - thank you. y’all are the best.🫶🏼

“the more they try & stop you, is the more you know they are afraid.” don’t let them stop you - stand strong in your power, and know your strength. thanks for the reminder. hope to see you again, Giulia.🥀

Still reeling from the absolute joy that was last week's concert of my songs 'Don't Be So Hard on Yourself' @thegreenroom42

Thanks to everyone who joined in person and on livestream, and of course the amazing cast and band who shared their gifts!

I'll be sharing a bunch of vids from the evening over the next few weeks, but I thought I'd start with the crowd favorite "Alien Baby."

It’s been a little over a week since we closed Giulia. I’ve struggled to put into words how special this project was. These are simply some of the greatest creators, collaborators, and individuals I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Each one a bright light. Each one deeply dedicated to this beautiful tradition of storytelling. I built my character with all of their combined help. I couldn’t be more proud to stand amount their ranks.

Thank you, @jennifernettles, for your brilliance and courage in creating a piece of theater that honors the complexity, power, and resilience of women. Deeply grateful to have been a part of it (even if I was playing such a bad man). You are a sensation and the epitome of what it is to be a leader. Performing with you will remain on of the highlights of my career as an actor.

Thank you, Mary Zimmerman, for this chance. For one of the greatest characters I will play in my career. I found a specific kind of childlike play and joy I haven’t seen since I was in high school. You trusted me through my failures, celebrated me in my triumphs, and gave me the freedom to discover. I’m endlessly grateful. You truly are every bit the genius that they say you are.

GOVERNATORE — You really put me through the wringer. You challenged me mentally, physically, and emotionally, and forced me to confront my ego more times than I care to admit. I was reminded of the power of process over product. But what a joy it was to take a swing at you every night. You were a beast, a gift, and one hell of a ride. Maybe someday, I’ll dust you off again.

Also, a special thanks to @adam_rothenberg for his musical brilliance and gentle guidance. @adamzoto for being the best producer and champion a group could ask for, love you bro. @pac_nyc, thank you for the space and support for us to make something super delicious. And to the rest of our incredible company on and off stage!
