BIO

Adam Overett is a multi-talented performer, composer, and writer who has made a name for himself in the world of musical theater. Born in Seattle, Washington, Overett grew up with a love for music and theater, and began performing in local productions at a young age. He went on to study music at Yale University, where he honed his skills as a composer and songwriter.


After graduating from Yale, Overett moved to New York City to pursue a career in musical theater. He quickly made a name for himself as a versatile performer, appearing in a number of Off-Broadway productions and regional theater productions across the country. Some of his most notable stage credits include playing the role of Fabrizio in the national tour of The Light in the Piazza, and appearing in the Off-Broadway productions of Zanna, Don't!, The Most Ridiculous Thing You Ever Hoid, and many others.
In addition to his work as a performer, Overett is also an accomplished composer and writer. He has written a number of original musicals, including My Life Is a Musical, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2014. The show tells the story of a man who wakes up to find that his life has become a musical, and features a score that blends elements of classic musical theater with contemporary pop and rock influences.
Overett's work as a composer and writer has been widely praised by critics and audiences alike. His music has been described as "catchy and infectious" by BroadwayWorld, and his lyrics have been praised for their wit and humor. He has also been recognized for his contributions to the musical theater community, receiving the Jonathan Larson Award for his work as a composer and lyricist.
Despite his success in the world of musical theater, Overett has also made a name for himself in other areas of the entertainment industry. He has appeared in a number of television shows and films, including The Good Wife, Law & Order: SVU, and the indie film Pop Meets the Void.
