The U.S. debut concert of Daniel Assetta, the award-winning Australian theatre performer, and his new solo show The Road From Oz will play 54 Below on Wednesday, December 6, at 7:00 PM. The show is directed by Emilio Ramos and produced by Robert W. Schneider.
Assetta will be celebrating one year of living and working in New York City. With some very special guest stars; he’ll share songs and stories from his career ‘down under,’ his TikTok-viral childhood videos, and how his love of 90s pop and classic movie-musicals led him to where he is today.
The star is one of Australia’s most accomplished musical theatre artists, possessing all the qualities of a traditional, yet versatile leading man. He made his American stage debut earlier this year in the New York City Centre Encores! production of The Light in the Piazza, followed by The MUNY’s production of West Side Story.
Prior to this, Assetta played “Samuel Seabury” and u/s “King George III” in the original Australian company of Hamilton and performed the role of “Tony” in West Side Story to rave reviews across Australia, New Zealand and Germany including at the iconic Sydney and Berlin Opera Houses. Other Australian theatre credits include A Chorus Line; The Book of Mormon; CATS; the 10th Anniversary Australasian tour of Wicked; Funny Girl; and “Luke” in the world premiere of The Gathering. Assetta is also the recipient of the prestigious Rob Guest Endowment Award in Australia, which led to opportunities to perform internationally. With his sister, Chiara, he produced, co-wrote, and performed in Siblingship, which was awarded the winner of “Best Cabaret” in the 2020 BroadwayWorld Australia Awards.
