VIDEO: Claybourne Elder Talks Paying It Forward Through COMPANY Tickets on PIX11

Claybourne Elder appeared on Pix11 this morning to discuss starring in Company on Broadway and how he is paying it forward by giving audience members the opporunity to win free tickets to performances after a stranger had given him the money to see his co-star Patti LuPone in Sweeney Todd when he was in college.

"I had COVID two weeks ago and I was coming back into the show and I was very excited so I decided I would buy two tickets to the show and give them away on Instagram ... Strangers started sending me money to buy more tickets for people who couldn't afford to see the show, so I ended up getting over a hundred tickets over the course of two weeks for strangers."

Elder also discussed appearing in The Gilded Age on HBO Max, which is set to premiere on January 24. Watch the new interview below!

Claybourne Elder made his Broadway debut in Bonnie and Clyde in 2011 as "Buck Barrow." He also originated the roles of "Hollis Bessemer" in Stephen Sondheim's Road Show, and "Michael Victor" in Venice. His other Broadway credits include playing the Soldier/Alex and understudying Jake Gyllenhaal in the Broadway revival of Sunday in the Park with George, as well as understudying Ed in Torch Song.
