He is also known for his work on Cole Escola's Oh, Mary! on Broadway and in London's West End and Josh Sharp's Ta-Da!, and many more. As a choreographer, his work includes Stephen Sondheim's final musical Here We Are, Jeanine Tesori and David Henry Hwang's Soft Power and seven Broadway shows, including Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812. In this episode, Sam discusses why being a people pleaser fits into his work as a director and choreographer, how a shared love of 1970s regional theater with Cole Escola led to Oh, Mary!, and embracing the energy of The Rocky Horror Show fandom.
