Broadway BUZZ

Michael Cavinder is an actor, producer, director, writer, and half-Filipino giant from Orange County, California. He is the creator and Artistic Director of Ambush Cabaret. The Fear of 13 will be his Broadway debut. Regional: Annie (Hollywood Bowl), Frozen (The Hyperion Theater), A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Laguna Playhouse), Bottle Shock! The Musical (California Center for the Arts, Escondido), 9 to 5: The Musical (Musical Theatre West), Clue (La Mirada). TV: Law and Order. Michael strives to uplift fellow artists and contribute to a creative community grounded in generosity and compassion. He is inspired by those who give back, including the Mondays Dark team in Las Vegas, led by Mark and Cheryl, and his own ragtag ensemble of friends: James, Nancy, Terry, Andrew, Katie, Joven, and Daniel (and many more!). Heartfelt thanks to his loving wife and forever collaborator, Libby, and to Pedro Pascal. If she hadn’t seen a resemblance between him and Pedro, she never would have asked him out.
