Blake Hammond

Post by SatinandLace »

Blake just started as the alternate/understudy(?) Mr. Braithwaite. It turns out that Blake is the cousin of one of my good friends! I hear he is great and I can't wait to see him in the show. :D

Blake is Mr. Braithwaite in the Chicago production, so I have moved his thread here. :D

I was happy to see Blake in the role of Uncle Fester in The Addams Family last night. He was outstanding and was a hit with the entire audience. I last saw him in Billy Elliot Chicago. He continues living his dream!

Blake will play the roles of Captain Hook and The Old Crow and will team up with former fellow BETM cast member Giuseppe Bausilio in a Staged Reading of the newly published work called The Lost Boy, by a renowned playwright known more for his career in television and most importantly the role of Arnold Horshack on the 1970s hit, “Welcome Back Kotter”, Ronald Gabriel Paolillo.
