Alex Brightman has had one hell of a year. In a matter of months, the School of Rock leading man has gone from relative-unknown Broadway performer to a bona fide star and Tony nominee for best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical. How does he keep his performances rock star-quality ? Find out below!

Brightman is an actor and writer literally living his dream. He has been seen on Broadway in Glory Days, Wicked, Big Fish, and Matilda. Additional credits include the regional premiere of The History Boys at the Ahmanson Theatre, The Old Globe's world premiere musical, Nobody Loves You, and Comedy Central's "Important Things with Demetri Martin." As a writer, he has written Make Me Bad (music & lyrics by Drew Gasparini); Everything In Its Place: The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers; and The Whipping Boy (music & co-lyrics by Drew Gasparini), an upcoming musical adaptation of the award-winning novel.


The new Living Room at W New York - Times Square has arrived with electric design and vibrant features. A playful nod to Times Square of the past, it's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Mingle with locals while sipping specialty curated cocktails and savoring the excitement of Broadway's bright lights.
