John Devol BIO

In addition to the authorizing credits that you already have on his page, he played for the duration of the original chorus line as swing trumpet. Six shows a week every year.

He was 100% full-time musician (trumpet) but not in the program because they had to put for Trumpets in the three spots due to union rules. He also subbed for the off-Broadway show before it moved to Broadway.
