Mauricio Martínez is getting ready to hit the stage at 54 Below! The Emmy Award winner and Tony Award watcher has had a lot of self-tape sides filling up his Dropbox. In his new show, 5'11, Based in NYC, he's putting those to good use in a musical "What If...," sorting through what might have been. Pushing aside the ring light, the show is an electric night of musical theatre, featuring a band led by musical director Brian J. Nash and featuring special guests, the "Mexican Marvel," hailed as a "world class vocalist" by BroadwayWorld, proudly debuts his new solo show at 54 Below.
"It's a brand-new show! My director Robbie Rozelle and I are crafting a very funny, very personal show," he explained to BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "The idea of this show is to perform most of the self-tapes that I've been asked to do and the roles that people always tell me I'm perfect for."
watch as Mauricio chats more with Richard about what audiences can expect from the new show and check out a sneak peek of "Simply the Best" and "The Impossible Dream."
