Kristoffer Cusick (Rent, Saturday Night Fever, Wicked) adds songwriter to his list of credits with the release of his debut CD, LOST. The CD, which blends musical styles of pop, jazz and adult contemporary, is a completely original work. LOST presents tracks written by Kristoffer and talented and emerging songwriters, Dan and David Hickle. Also featured on the CD are duets with rising stars JennLee Shallow (The Lion King) and Heather Mitchell (C4).

LOST is available for pre-order at www.kristoffercusick.com and the first 500 orders receive a free bonus gift.

Kristoffer has been a member of the Wicked company since it's pre-Broadway bow in San Francisco and has also performed the role of Fiyero on Broadway (u/s) and in Chicago (original cast). He currently stars as Fiyero in the Los Angeles production where he has been receiving rave reviews:

The Hollywood Reporter
Outdone by just a whisker, Espinosa's Elphaba wields her magic powers and garish green body makeup with consummate skill, transforming into a romantic prize whose love affair with magnificent prince Fiyero (an outstanding job by Kristoffer Cusick) is heart-throbbingly compelling. Her voice soars as much as her character does, and her physical chemistry with Hilty (and Cusick) is so tangible you can reach out and feel the energy.

LA TIMES
Joe Mantello's staging hasn't diminished over time. There's new blood coursing through it. Kristoffer Cusick as Fiyero, the love interest Glinda and Elphaba compete for, only gains in magnetism as he goes from being an arrogant charmer to a heroic revolutionary.

VARIETY
This production of "Wicked" maintains interest beyond the Elphaba/Glinda plot by virtue of a strong supporting cast. Cusick's sex appeal and hot dance moves for once justify both the girls' interest and the love triangle's central presence.

The Santa Clarita Signal
Kristoffer Cusick as the shallow, brainless "Fiyero" could give "Grey's Anatomy's" "Dr. McDreamy" a run for his money. He also holds his own on stage with Espinosa and Hilty - not a mean feat.

OC Register
Kristoffer Cusick adds a crucial veneer of Jimmy Fallon-like charm to Fiyero to counterbalance the character's swaggering-child-of-privilege persona. And he owns a powerhouse singing voice.

Congratulations to Janet Mahurin & Misti Kane!
