Two-time Tony Award nominee Josie de Guzman presents an encore engagement of Back Where I Started for two performances on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, both at 7:00 PM. The evening is directed by Gerard Alessandrini, the creator of Forbidden Broadway, with musical direction by Larry Yurman.
Returning to the venue, her show features career highlights from her Broadway debut in Liz Swados’ Runaways to her Tony nominated portrayals of Maria in West Side Story and Sarah in Guys and Dolls, in addition to her collaborations with Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane, along with a few surprises.
Josie de Guzman was born in New York City and raised in Puerto Rico, where her love for theater began. She started at The Public Theater, playing a teenager in the multi-Tony nominated musical Runaways, written and directed by Liz Swados, followed by Swados’ Hagaddah and Lullabye and Goodnight, directed by Joe Papp. She appeared on Broadway in Carmelina, Nick & Nora, and was nominated for the Tony Award as Maria in the first Broadway revival of West Side Story, where she had the unsurpassed experience of working closely with Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins and Gerald Freedman in creating a new production of that classic. She received a second Tony nomination for her performance as Sarah Brown in the acclaimed revival of Guys and Dolls, directed by Jerry Zaks.
