Tituss Burgess Excited About Playing Sebastian!

January 7th, 2008

As most of you already know, former Jersey Boys’ cast member Tituss Burgess is playing the lovable and song-filled Sebastian in Disney’s new musical The Little Mermaid, that officially opens Thursday, January 10 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Tituss recently spent some time chatting with BroadwayWorld.com’s News Desk Editor Eugene Lovendusky about the thrills of playing one of the world’s most notable shellfish, the creative processes behind the new musical, and what audiences have to look forward to at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Here’s a preview of Tituss’ interview:

Eugene: You’ve always brought flavor to your shows. You started with the bursts of color in Good Vibrations and then got the party started with the opening number in Jersey Boys. Now you’re the King Crustacean of Soul with The Little Mermaid. How does it feel to be the spice-of-life on stage?

Tituss: [laughs] I pinch myself every night when I hear the overture starting. I’m so overwhelmed by the whole process, and humbled and giddy all at the same time because I can’t believe it’s me that gets to sing these songs every night. I’ve been in New York for going on five years now, and I always thought I would make a mark and do something but I never thought it would be this big of a deal. I’m so blessed and I’m truly honored.

  1. I think it is wonderful that even though some have moved on to other things, they still remain part of the “family”. Thanks for including this Suzy and Dale.
