## Resource

Ken Marino, famed for his comedic roles in “Party Down” and “Role Models,” is making a bold leap into musical theater as he stars in the national tour of “Death Becomes Her.” Playing Dr. Ernest Menville, a plastic surgeon entangled in a supernatural rivalry, Marino calls it a “soul fulfilling” role that brings him full circle from his childhood Broadway dreams. With vocal chops honed by his band Middle Aged Dad Jam Band and inspired by past portrayals, he’s ready to deliver a fresh take on the character. Joined by powerhouse leads Jackie Burns and Kristen Beth Williams, Marino promises an uproarious, over-the-top spectacle audiences won’t want to miss.
