About

Eric is an actor, singer, and avid interior designer living in New York City.  Eric's performing credits range from Broadway and National tours to the concert and cabaret stage.  In New York City, Eric has performed on Broadway in the hit production of WICKED as well as Elf The Musical at Madison Square Garden. He has toured nationally and internationally with such acclaimed productions as Disney’s NEWSIES, Elf the Musical, Susan Stroman’s Young Frankenstein, The Wizard of Oz and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  Regionally, he has appeared at Goodspeed Opera House, Papermill Playhouse, Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, Ogunquit Playhouse, Barrington Stage, Finger Lakes Music Theatre Festival, Kansas City Starlight, Sierra Repertory Theatre, Tennessee Repertory, The Arden Theatre, Tuacahn’s Hafen Theatre, and the Milwaukee Rep, among others.

In addition to his life onstage, Eric enjoys working offstage with others to transform their living spaces into comfortable environments that reflect their personality as well as accentuate each room’s purpose and individual atmosphere. He specializes in using what people already have, combining cost-saving ideas and clever design solutions to create a sophisticated sensibility without breaking the bank.  

While traveling the country on various tours, Eric has dedicated his time and efforts for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, frequently organizing benefit concerts and fundraising events.

Eric just completed a run of SUNSET BOULEVARD at the the John T. Engeman Theatre in Northport, Long Island, playing the roles of Manfred and Sheldrake.
