The Golden Tenor of Cabaret returns to the stage with a brand new show celebrating the iconic divas from the legendary late Stephen Sondheim’s vast body of work, and bids farewell to the New York stage as he embarks on a film and TV career in Los Angeles. Two-time MAC and BroadwayWorld Award-winning singer Sean Patrick Murtagh fills some pretty big heels in his brand new show, Beautiful Girls: A Tribute to Sondheim’s Divas. 

Newly named MAC Award Recipient for Best Male Debut, Sean Patrick Murtagh is keeping very busy during the quarantine with household projects, long isolated runs, and nachos. Lots and lots of nachos.

Sean Patrick Murtagh, New York-based singer and actor as well as a San Francisco Cabaret fixture, returned to the Green Room 42 last night with MARIO! A Salute. The show is a tribute to the great singer–an open love letter to the golden tenor of Hollywood. Included are songs from classic Hollywood musicals, opera, and Neapolitan favorites. This intimate, nostalgic evening is designed to make you fall in love, just when you thought they didn't make singers like that anymore! MARIO! A Salute is directed by Chris Giordano. Musical Director Ge Enrique.

Sean Patrick Murtagh, Fresh off the success of his much anticipated New York City Debut, returns to The Green Room 42 with MARIO! A Salute to the Great Lanza. An open love letter to the golden tenor of Hollywood.

Samuel French, a Concord Theatricals company, has announced the winners of the 2019 Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival (OOB), the nation's premier short play competition.  

With his NYC cabaret debut, Sean Patrick Murtagh holds forth on all things Mario Lanza and darlings he's got the voice to back it up.

Mario Lanza brought Opera to Hollywood and Sean Patrick Murtagh brought Mario Lanza to the Cabaret World at The Green Room 42 last night. Sean's lyric baritone effectively handled the repertoire usually sung by a tenor's voice and brought a distinctive vivacity to the songs usually associated with Mario Lanza and other celebrated tenors. Actually this show was about Mario and Richard (not Tucker). It was a heartfelt tribute to Sean's vocal teacher Richard who first exposed him to the Mario Lanza songbook. With his superior musical theater acting skills and charming personality Sean Patrick Murtagh is an exciting addition to the Cabaret World. Similar to the Metropolitan Opera, The Green Room 42 was full of Bravo's last night and I was thinking 3 Tenors plus 1 great Lyric Baritone would also make a great performance.

Samuel French's Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival (OOB), the nation's premier short play competition, is excited to announce that Lauren Yee (Cambodian Rock Band, The Great Leap, The Hatmaker's Wife) is this year's honorary festival playwright.

Kimple, Margaret Ledford, Emily Morse, Salem Tsegaye, Miriam Weiner and Alexis Williams.
