Graham Rowat was chosen as LoveMusik's winner of the Gypsy Robe.  Rowat plays Otto and Allen Lake in the musical, which opened on May 3rd at the Biltmore Theatre.

The colorful Gypsy Robe, embellished with mementos from Broadway musicals, is presented to the cast member who has the most Broadway chorus credits. Legally Blonde's Michelle Kittrell was the last performers to be chosen as the Gypsy Robe winner. Rowat's other Broadway credits include Dracula and Beauty and the Beast.

Musical staging is provided by Patricia Birch (A Little Night Music), and direction by 21-time Tony Award-winner Harold Prince (The Phantom of the Opera, Cabaret, and Sweeney Todd).

LoveMusik is an epic romance, set in Berlin, Paris, Broadway and Hollywood, spanning 25 years in the lives of this complicated couple," state press notes.
