my career in professional theatre
Music Circus
Music Circus
The King and I - Prince Chulalongkorn
King & I (Prince Chulalongkorn), Music Circus (Sacramento). Director: Stafford Arima
For this role, I had to have a funky haircut. A video of my performance is on Broadway World (at 2:20-2:45), but you only see the back of my head! (Shown with Carter Thomas, August 2013).
Here are more pics from the show. And I got a specific mention in this article from the Davis Enterprise.
Loved working with the team from New York. Many of them are now going to be in Allegiance the Musical on Broadway in New York. I can hardly wait to see it!

The Secret Garden - Colin
The Secret Garden (Colin), Theatreworks (Palo Alto). Director: Robert Kelley
First mention in Playbill! My first professional gig. I had to sing while in bed (it's really hard). (Shown with Angelina Wahler, December 2011).
Got to perform with fellow StarStruck performers, Rachel Sue and Courtney Stokes!

Falsetto Land - Jason
Falsettoland (Jason), Stir-Fry Theatre (San Francisco). Director: Lawrence-Michael Arias
Even though I'm not Jewish, I've gotten my share of Bar Mitzvahs on stage. So I feel like I'm part Jewish. In this role I got to say a few bad words that my mom does not want me to use at home :-) I also got to work with some really great people, including Starstruck Theatre's choreographer Jeanne Batacan-Harper (who has a really good voice).

Les Miserables

Les Miserables - Gaveroche
Les Miserables (Gavroche), StarStruck Theatre (Fremont CA). Director: Lori Stokes (July 2010).
My first big role in the outdoor amphitheatre at Ohlone College. This was one of StarStruck's biggest shows -- selling over 4000 tickets! The best part was dying on stage. Lori says it is the longest death scene on record. I think I made people cry, though. This will always be one of my favorite shows.
Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka - Wonka
Willy Wonka, Jr (Wonka), StarStruck Theatre (Fremont, CA). Director: Lori Stokes (May 2014)
This was my 3rd time doing this show, and my first time as Wonka (previously I had played Mike Teevee and Charlie). I finally got to perform with both of my siblings, Marissa and Chris.
The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid - Sebastian
The Little Mermaid (Sebastian), StarStruck Theatre (Fremont, CA). Director: Lori Stokes (May 2013)
Now that I've learned a Caribbean accent, I want to learn more! This was also a great opportunity for me to learn to play comedy.

13 the Musical - Evan
13 the Musical (Evan), StarStruck Theatre (Fremont, CA). Director: Danny Harper (July 2012)
I first saw this show when I was 11, and I thought "This show is so hilarious, I've got to do this show when I'm 13!" And Lori made my dream come true when she posted the auditions for this summer camp show. I've now gotten "Bar Mitzvah"ed in two different shows and I'm not even Jewish. This is one of my favorite songs from the show.
Sierra (plays Patrice) and I happened to be in New York to see Newsies, and got to "sing" our duet on Broadway!

A Little Princess - Pasko
A Little Princess (Pasko), Stagedoor Manor (New York). Director: David Leidholdt (August 2012)
I enjoyed being a part of this premiere for Stagedoor in New York. Here is Pasko's full song, and clips of Pasko from the show.
