We are excited to announce Brandon Upton in the role of Boy Ebenezer in our upcoming production of “A Christmas Carol”, A New Musical. World Premiere of “A Christmas Carol” is a new musical with music and lyrics by Daniel and Tami Orama and directed by Bryan Radtke. Over the last month I have been highlighting each cast member because in the end there would be no show without them. I can't tell you how appreciative we are of this cast. Brandon in the role of Boy Ebenezer is making his New York City debut in “A Christmas Carol”, A New Musical. Brandon performed in his school production of "Bye Bye Birdie" as well as the Opera "Carmen" produced and directed by Golden Rose Production. In addition to his theatre credits, he has experience in stage combat with Michael Tester and performance training from Kimberly Larkin and her team at the Musical Theatre Summer Workshop at Queens College. He greatly appreciates the opportunity of being a part of “A Christmas Carol”. He loves playing baseball, but his first passion with the exception of singing, is soccer. In addition, he would like to thank his sister Amanda for teaching him what he knows about singing. We are thrilled to have Brandon a part of “A Christmas Carol”. The audience will be touched upon hearing his sweet singing voice in his scene with Fan. I leave you with one of Boy Ebenezer’s precious lines, “Oh, home tonight is where I’ll be”. There’s no place like home. Until the Next Time, Daniel Daniel is a highly sought after industry professional in voice instruction, especially in the art of breathing. He is an accomplished vocalist, performer, composer, People of Godspell Producer, produced and directed Esther the Musical.
