| Cathy hails from Bayside, Queens and is thrilled to be working again with Larry and so many other wonderful people. Cathy began her career in the Off-Off-Broadway musical Ludlow Ladd - The Little Orphan Boy, words and music by Kolby and Markowe (Charlotte’s Web). Later on she toured with American Family Theatre’s production of The Little Mermaid. Her favorite roles include Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes, and Grace Farrell in Annie. She also worked with Hofstra University’s Grey Wig in their production of Singin’ In The Rain. Cathy was lead vocalist for the band Alive ‘n Kickin, and completed their 2003 summer tour. She also sings for Steven Scott Orchestras and Hank Lane Entertainment. Cathy’s best role to date is that of being wife to her best friend Michael, and mom to Juliana (7) and Mikey (4). I love you all – you complete me. | Michael’s greatest claim to fame was being part of the original cast of one of the biggest flops in Broadway history, Ain’t Broadway Grand, written by Mitch Leigh (Man of La Mancha), Lee Adams (Bye, Bye, Birdie), and Thomas Meehan (Annie and The Producers). It wasn’t! He last appeared in the National Tours of City of Angels and Oliver. Before that he performed in Grand Hotel at the Westchester Broadway Theatre. He has performed in numerous regional and summer stock productions, performing such roles as the Emcee in Cabaret, Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha, Chino in West Side Story, Billy Flynn in Chicago, Ozzie in On The Town, and Will Parker in Oklahoma. He appeared in one of the original workshop productions of the Off-Broadway hit, The It Girl, written by BT McNicholl and Paul McKibbins. He has also been a musical director, songwriter, and teacher. In 1992, while working as an engineer/arranger in a recording studio, a beautiful young actress walked in to record a demo tape. Little did he know that Cathy Bandin would eventually become his wife, singing partner, and the mother of his two beautiful children! |
