It is officially our last guest episode of this series of Call To Stage: Broadway Edition and we are joined by a legend of the stage and screen!
Roger Bart is a cemented into the history of Broadway. From his Tony Award winning performance as Snoopy in the 1999 revival of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, to his Tony Award nominations for his performances in the original Broadway casts of The Producers and Back To The Future: The Musical - Roger Bart has done it all and then some. As a close friend of Jonathan Larson, he participated in early productions of Tick, Tick... Boom! and Rent, for which the character of "Roger" is inspired by him.
Away from the stage, Roger was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance of "Go The Distance" in the Disney film Hercules, and on TV he has starred in Desperate Housewives, Grace and Frankie, Good Trouble and more.
On this episode of Call To Stage: Broadway Edition, Amber and Roger talk about early career highlights, their shared experiences in Back To The Future on the West End and Roger's experience working with Alan Menken on Hercules, as well as his friendship with Jonathan Larson. Roger also shares stories of challenging costumes and transitioning from the stage to screen... and back to the stage!
