Check out some highlights of past performances below!
Manheim is best known for his starring role as Zed in Disney’s movie musical franchise ZOMBIES. Most recently, Manheim starred in the Deaf West stage production of Green Day’s American Idiot, which broke records by becoming the Los Angeles Mark Taper Forum’s highest-selling show of all time. Manheim also starred in the Paramount+ YA drama series “School Spirits”. He performed in 15 musicals with Liza Monjauze Productions, including Rent, Footloose, Tommy, A Chorus Line, Gypsy, and Spring Awakening.
