My Take
Will Swenson strikes me as a genuine triple threat with an unusually interesting path. Tony-nominated for Hair and a leading man across Les Misérables, Waitress, and the Neil Diamond bio-musical, he has the voice and stage charisma that Broadway is built on. What I find distinctive is the Utah and Brigham Young grounding, plus his early work in LDS cinema, an origin story far from the usual theatre pipeline. That he also writes and directs tells me he sees the whole stagecraft, not just his own spotlight. I always root for performers who win on sheer voice and nerve, and he does.
