Standing @ Zero: The Prom's Drew Redington

So, why "Standing at Zero"? You know the numbers across the front of the stage? Zero is center, and we are putting one performer front and center.

This month, we are celebrating a relative newbie to the Broadway TheatreScene. He is currently dancing his feet off in The Prom, only his second show on the Main Stem. Prior to this, he has appeared in many regional productions, including the dance heavy Jerome Robbins' Broadway at The Muny. If he can survive a long run doing that energetic Casey Nicholaw choreography, we are sure Drew Redington has a long career ahead of him!

Mr. Broadway June 2019: The Prom's Brooks Ashmankas

Mr. Broadway June 2019 is that increasingly rare creature - a constantly working stage actor. He's constantly in regional theaters, and has done a few TV shows and a movie. And he's been a steady presence on Broadway for nearly a quarter century. And he's done it all: comedy, drama, classic works, brand new musicals. Over the years, his efforts have been rewarded with a pair of Tony Award nominations, including one this year for his hilarious and very heart-warming performance in The Prom.

A role model with a career most only dream about is why this month we are honoring Brooks Ashmanskas.
