Sammy Williams Biography
Sammy Williams is best known for his Tony Award winning performance as Paul San Marco in the original production of, A Chorus Line. As Paul San Marco, Mr. Williams was also awarded the prestigious Obie Award and was given a Special Theatre World Award for his contribution to that production. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Mr. Williams took the infamous "Trenton Makes The World Takes" slogan to heart. His 40 year career has taken him from the lights of Broadway, in such shows as The Happy Time, Applause, and SeeSaw, through Europe, Hollywood, and back to the Great White Way. After a ten year hiatus, Mr. Williams returned to the stage in 1998 creating new roles in shows such as, Too Old For The Chorus, Like An Old Song, and Doing Judy, a hilarious whodunit murder mystery in which he portrayed a would be Judy Garland female impersonator. Wearing a dress, heels, and false eyelashes lead him back to the awards podium garnishing a Robbie Award as Best Featured Actor in a Comedy. Recently Mr. Williams was seen in the Actors Workout Studio production of The Bench in which he created the very tender role of Albert in The Caretaker! Rave notices were given for his lead performance as Terry in the musical comedy All This and Heaven Too. His one man show “And the Winner Is” plays through out the Los Angeles area and major cities across the US.Sammy Williams Awards and Nominations

Described as 'an evening of song, dance and holiday cheer in support of the 'Force Feed the World' charity fund', A Harmony Boys Christmas as a musical satire revels in being politically incorrect. It concentrates on traditions like Santa Claus coming down the chimney, crackers - fun toys that are popular with the Brits - and even the birth of the 'Sweet Little Jesus Boy' and tears them all to shreds.

At the E Spot Lounge, upstairs at Vitello's, Studio City on Tuesday April 18, Amy Brothman and Dianne Fraser produced a delightfully eclectic evening of song and storytelling under the supervision of musical director Michael Lavine, titled simply Michael Lavine & Friends. What a treat! Lavine, who lives most of the year in New York, is a director, performer, coach and musical genius par excellence. He has produced a CD also entitled Michale Lavine & Friends, which, like the show, offers rarely heard songs from less familiar Broadway shows. Some of these are musical gems, and for one reason or another, never hit the charts.
