The Theater People Podcast Welcomes FIDDLER ON THE ROOF's Adam Kantor

On Monday, March 28th, the Theater People podcast welcome's Broadway favorite and Fiddler on the Roof's Motel, Adam Kantor.

The actor made his Broadway debut in 2008 as Mark in the closing cast of the Tony winning musical RENT directed by Michael Greif. The director, a mentor to Kantor, went on to cast him as a replacement in the role of Henry in the hit Broadway musical NEXT TO NORMAL.

In 2013 he was cast opposite Betsy Wolfe in Second Stage's highly anticipated revival of Jason Robert Brown's THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

This season Kantor is back on Broadway as Motel in the critically acclaimed revival of Bock and Harnick's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

For the episode, Kantor discusses how Greif came to be one of his mentors, how it was to be a part of these three iconic musicals, and why being a part of this incarnation of FIDDLER is especially meaningful for him.
