He made his 54 Below producing debut in July 2024 with 54 Sings Vulfpeck and his Green Room 42 producing debut in January 2025 with Fake Bands/Real Songs. He is the Creator and Producer of the podcast, “And the EGOT Goes To…”, of which he hosts the Tony Awards episodes and the Co-Host and Broadway Reviewer for the international Musical Theatre podcast, “Thrash n’ Treasure”. Keep an eye out this year for his new concert series, “In Their Own Words”, which uses interviews given by composers throughout their careers to add context to their library of work, premiering on October 4 with The Songs of Jason Robert Brown. Tickets are available at tinyurl.com/itowjrb. He is currently in his "force his friends to do solo shows" era, in which he has successfully convinced his friends Giselle Gutierrez (Mrs. Doubtfire), Sean Steele (Kinky Boots), Delaney Brown (Jagged Little Pill), and Sara Al-Bazali (Heathers) to let him conceive and produce solo shows for them, and he is having the absolute time of his life getting to work with his friends and he can't wait for everyone to see what Sara has been working on.
