News From The Inside
Hello Everybody!
You may want to know what I am up to these days. If so, first and foremost, my family and I are enjoying our precious time together. This is not easy sometimes, when the work load is intense. I am going strong, holding it down at the August Wilson eight times a week and it is still a blast to knock this great show out of the park with my cast and crew. I am the voice of American Express on a few television campaigns, so keep your ears open. I am now the spokesperson for the Bachman-Strauss Dystonia and Parkinson Foundation. More to come about my involvement with this great organization and It's important medical advances and loving support of families dealing with these diseases. I will continue to do benefit concerts in support of Bachman-Strauss, the Leukemia Society, the Young Peoples Chorale and the YMCA of Greater New York.
Stay tuned for the latest developments with my broadway, movie, television and concert appearances.
Blessings,
Christian
