Today we are talking to a spectacularly talented triple threat who has made a prominent name for himself on Broadway in numerous notable roles over the last two decades, 2015 Tony Award nominee Max von Essen. Discussing all aspects of his integral role in the celebrated new stage adaptation of classic movie musical AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, von Essen opens up about what the part means to him and his influence on its development from its early roots at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris to its opening on Broadway earlier this year. Additionally, von Essen shares his extreme enthusiasm for receiving a 2015 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor In A Musical for his performance in the dynamic and dazzling musical spectacular, while also offering his affection for his fellow nominees in the cast and on the production team. Besides all of that, von Essen shares how his own life experiences have shaded his complex and moving characterization of his performance and the intrinsic part his own coming out has had in shaping his detailed and thoughtful acting work as well as breaks down the various elements that combine to create one of the most unforgettable showstoppers in a musical positively packed with them, the iconic 'Stairway To Paradise'. All of that and much, much more in this extensive conversation with one of Broadway's best!
