Holmdel Theatre Company will kick off their 2021 Broadway Outside the Barn series with Nicholas Rodriguez: The First Time... on Saturday, April 24th at 7 PM ET. Making his Holmdel debut, the Broadway actor (Tarzan) will perform his acclaimed solo show to a socially distanced audience outside the Duncan Smith Theater.

Award-winning Broadway, TV, film actor and recording artist, Nicholas Rodriguez, explores life, love, and longing through an intimate evening featuring new interpretations of songs from the world of pop, jazz, folk and musical theatre. Join "the classic leading man" (Washington Post) as he performs a wide variety of music - John Denver to Joni Mitchell, Frankie Valli to Phantom of the Opera. You always remember your first time....

Best known for his television role, Nick Chavez, on ABC's "One Life to Live" (GLAAD Media Award, 2009 Visibility Award), Nicholas has enjoyed an extensive career on Broadway (Tarzan), film (Sex and the City 2), the concert stage (Birdland), and recently appeared opposite Holmdel Theatre favorite Alice Ripley in Sunset Boulevard at North Shore Music Theatre.

"We are thrilled to welcome Nicholas to Holmdel, '' said Holmdel Theatre Company Executive Director Colleen Cook. "It's been almost a year since Broadway shut down and we, along with our audience, are craving live entertainment. We are pleased to be able to present such high caliber talent safely to our Holmdel community."

In order to provide the safest environment for its patrons, the wildly popular and award-winning series Broadway at the Barn has been temporarily renamed as Broadway Outside the Barn, taking place outside the intimate Duncan Smith Theater, a 125-year old renovated barn that has been transformed into a charming 99-seat theater. The set up will include socially distanced clearly marked out pods on the lawn and attendees will bring their own lawn chairs.

Tickets are $40 and now on sale online. Should the event be cancelled due to inclement weather, patrons will be issued full refunds. Sound and lighting design by HTC Technical Director Chris Szczerbienski. This installment of Broadway at the Barn is sponsored by Doreen DeMarco and Kimberly Ardise of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices - Fox & Roach Realtors.
