Lots to be thankful for these past few months. ‘Death Becomes Her’ is killing it on Broadway (see what I did there?) – huge thanks for , Universal Theatrical Group, the entire DBH family and to Chris Gattelli for being amazing to work with. It’s a fantastic show, with some great moments of magic that I was honored to be able to put on stage. Over in Salt Lake City, Beauty and the Beast is selling out fast. Thanks to , as always it was great to collaborate on this production’s magic effects. Back in New York (with my producers hat on), Barbie : A Cultural Icon Exhibition is open now at the Museum of Arts and Design and I’m so proud of how this exhibition has turned out (and yes I did manage to get a Corvette onto the fourth floor in the middle of Manhattan). I’m grateful to Mattel for their partnership and continued support for this project. Still a few things to wrap up in 2024 then onto ’25!

They say never meet your heroes. I disagree.  For the past year I’ve been lucky enough to be working on the newest show in Vegas and with that project came the amazing opportunity to work alongside some people I’ve admired for a long time.  I’m so grateful for the lessons, experiences and creative collaboration I’ve been a small part of on this mammoth production.  Premiering tonight - Awakening at Wynn.  Many thanks to the amazing team on this show – particularly those who I’ve learned so much from. Paul Kieve, David Mendoza, Michael Curry, Baz Halpin and Bernie Yuman.
