By: Stephi Wild
The Broadway at Birdland concert series was proud to present Broadway singer/actor Max von Essen in concert on Monday, April 30. Mr. von Essen, currently starring in the hit Broadway production of Anastasia, along with his musical director, the incomparable Billy Stritch, brought an old fashioned new show celebrating the best of Broadway and the American songbook.
Max is best known for his recent portrayal of Henri Baurel in An American in Paris on Broadway, a role which earned him nominations for the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Grammy Award. He also appeared on Broadway in the revival of Evita, the revival of Les Misérables, Dance of the Vampires, Jesus Christ Superstar and the closing company of the original Les Misérables.
