Comtra Theatre

Sweet Charity

directed by Robert Hockenberry

July 2010

Role - Herman

hermanI took this role as a favor to the director. He was having a hard time getting guys interested in this show. We were going to do RENT, but the theatre owner vetoed that so auditions were awkward when he had to tell everyone we were doing Sweet Charity instead.

Not on my list of favorite roles but he was a fun to play in a way. He's brash, loud and heartless, or so he wants everyone to think. He reminds me of Louie from Taxi. His only song is "I Love to Cry at Weddings," a song I came to despise because our performance track was awful and we always sounded off key at the end despite our best efforts.
