Photo Coverage: Backstage at 'Bryan Batt: Live at the Met'

Bryan Batt, who has recently been bringing his one-man show to sold-out audiences in his hometown of New Orleans, presented "Bryan Batt: Live at the Met!" on February 7th at 9:30PM at the Metropolitan Room after first treating New York audiences to the show on February 4th.

According to notes, the show is "a clever mix of Broadway and popular ballads and comic turns both familiar and entertainingly obscure. Be prepared for some serious fun with his theatrical/humorous take on the world and stories of his life . . . half fast lived!"

Bryan Batt has appeared in nine Broadway productions, as well as over a dozen plays Off-Broadway, in Los Angeles and in regional theatre. He has played Munkustrap in Cats and Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, among other roles.  He was most recently seen on Broadway in La Cage aux Folles.  Batt has also appeared on several television shows including 'Rescue Me', 'Law and Order: Criminal Intent' and 'The Cosby Show.'  The musical director for "Bryan Batt: Live at the Met!" is Michael Lavine.
