Playbill calls legendary American actor Michael
Cerveris “arguably the most versatile leading man on Broadway.” And for
good reason: Cerveris has played everything from Shakespeare’s Romeo to the
homicidal title character in Sweeney Todd, to trans rock diva Hedwig in the landmark rock musical Hedwig
and the Angry Inch. Along the way he has won Tony Awards for Best Featured Actor in a
Musical in 2004 for his portrayal of John Wilkes Booth in Assassins, and Best
Leading Actor in a Musical in 2015 for his portrayal of Bruce Bechdel in Fun
Home.
On the eve of his Nov. 11 acting masterclass in Montreal – during which participants will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with Cerveris – I sat down with Michael for a candid Q&A about his spectacular career. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
