BIO
A South Dakota native, Mike McGowan has transformed a Midwestern, big family upbringing into a career full of authenticity,
variety, and connection— for Mike, performance serves as a joyful invitation to the world. His talents have been seen on wide-ranging stages; from Broadway to Circus to Television & Film and back again. The New York Times called his work “Commanding,” “Electric,” “Formidable” and “Striking.” As a classic leading man with a contemporary sensibility, Mike brings bold intelligence and intensity to every role.
On Broadway, he appeared in the record-breaking hit The Producers, the lauded revival of Ragtime, and the iconic and exuberant Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Mike recently concluded an extended run in another musical-theater juggernaut, the 1st National Tour of The Book of Mormon as Joseph Smith and Jesus.
In 2000, he successfully overcame his fear of clowns and traveled the United States as The Ringmaster in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth.
On television, he has appeared in Curb Your Enthusiasm, and was featured in Comedy Central’s Delocated and PBS’s The New Electric Company. He also appears in the award-winning feature, Big Words, and the supernatural thriller, Bloodline.

Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Ogunquit Playhouse
The Ogunquit Playhouse is filling its summer nights with a little night music- literally. A Little Night Music is a sophisticated musical comedy with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler set in early 20th century Sweden. The story revolves around a complex web of relationships and romantic entanglements among the privileged upper class.

BWW Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Music Theatre Wichita, A thought-provoking musical still poignant to our times
Opening Night. There's nothing like it in the world. Jitters can occur. Mistakes could happen. One hopes everything comes together and the rehearsal time and hard work has paid off. Luckily, for Music Theatre Wichita's producing artistic director Wayne Bryan, opening night was nothing short of absolute shear success for his season opener “The Sound of Music.” Music Theatre Wichita is in its 48th year.

BWW Review: Peter Rothstein's Extraordinarily Moving and Beautifully Realized ALL IS CALM: THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914
Shortly after midnight, on Christmas Day of 1914, a German soldier whose name is now lost to history committed what might be the most subversive act in all of modern warfare. He walked, unarmed, out of the front line trenches and into the middle of No Man's Land, faced the enemy British soldiers before him and, in his native tongue, began singing 'Silent Night.'
