The cast also includes SNL alum Dean Edwards, Henry Zebrowski from *Wolf of Wall Street*, Eric Peterson of *Kevin Can F**k Himself*, and comedian Tony Hinchliffe.
“When I heard the songs from this musical for the first time, I was truly blown away. It honestly reminded me of a young Andrew Lloyd Webber.” said Glickman. “Henry Brooks is a powerhouse. If you love Charles Bronson movies and true hollywood stories, this musical will be your next obsession. We truly learn that Bronson was more than a vigilante.”
The concept album showcases Brooks' original compositions, ranging from high-energy numbers to deeply moving ballads, all of which provide a profound, honest, and sometimes humorous look into Bronson’s career and personal struggles. This includes his childhood working in a coal mine, fighting in World War 2, skirting the Hollywood blacklist while becoming a worldwide sensation.
“Working with Stephen Kramer Glickman and the exceptional Henry Brooks was a joy. Brooks has created a funny, clever and loving tribute to a screen icon and I am honored to help him bring it to life.” says Steven Weber.
