BIO

Anthony Paul Gilkinson returned to his hometown of Tampa, Florida in April 2011. During his Seattle years, Tony was a singing member, choreographer and member of the dance corps for one of the largest gay choral organizations in the United States, Seattle Men’s Chorus. Tony also founded and performed with Seattle vocal quintet, The BEARatones. Under Tony’s direction, the group enjoyed a lot of success over the years with original shows like Singing In Our Underpants and My Fuzzy Valentine, which both played to sold-out audiences.

Past productions include Avenue Q, Nunsense A-Men!, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, RENT, The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Next to Normal, [title of show], Spring Awakening, Company and It Shoulda Been You.

BWW Review: M.A.D. Theatre of Tampa Presents the Quirky [TITLE OF SHOW] at the Shimberg

BWW Reviews: THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL at MAD Theatre of Tampa

Great cast and amazing vocals from the fine folks at Mad Theatre; too bad the script and the score are not worthy of their talent.
