On this episode I’m talking to actor and singer Andrew Kober who was part of the cast of the 2014 Broadway Revival of Les Miserables. 

On Broadway, he has been seen in the Tony-winning 2009 Revival of Hair, as well as Les Miserables, She Loves Me, Sunday in the Park with George, School of Rock, and, most recently, Beautiful. Andrew also performed on London’s West End with Hair, and in the First National Tour of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

He has also spent four summers performing at Shakespeare in the Park, including playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night this past summer, in which the New York Times compared him to a young John Cleese.

In addition to his Broadway and solo work, he keeps a busy calendar of concert appearances. With his writing and performing partners, Alex Brightman, Drew Gasparini, and F. Michael Haynie, they are the (M)orons, writing and performing original music and comedy all over New York City.
