The Sound of Music Live!'s Michael Campayno Will Join Wicked on Broadway

Michael Campayno, who appeared as Rolf in NBC’s The Sound of Music Live!, will trade those shorts (we know you remember them) for white pants. The actor will make his Broadway debut as Fiyero in Wicked beginning August 1, taking over for Jonah Platt. As previously reported, Wicked alum Jennifer DiNoia will assume the role of Elphaba from Rachel Tucker that same day.

Prior to The Sound of Music Live!, Campayno appeared regionally in Carousel, Side by Side by Sondheim, Next to Normal and All Shook Up. He is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon School of Drama.

The current cast also includes Carrie St. Louis as Glinda, Tony winner Judy Kaye as Madame Morrible, Peter Scolari as the Wizard, Dawn E. Cantwell as Nessarose, Michael Genet as Dr. Dillamond and Zachary Noah Piser as Boq.
