Broadway Star Gets Encore At Olney Theatre

OLNEY, MD — The Olney Theatre Center has announced a second concert with William Michals following the sellout of his first concert in record time. The concert will be performed as a benefit for the theater at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13.

Currently starring in the company’s production of "South Pacific," Michals has earned rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The Washington Post called him “the best thing about the show,” and blogger Steve Charing of OUTSpoken described him as "one of the finest vocalists I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to on Olney Theatre’s Mainstage."

Tickets for the concert will be $50 with $25 counting towards a tax-deductible donation to Olney Theatre Center.

Currently playing Emile de Becque in "South Pacific," Michals most recently created the role of Captain Hook in the acclaimed Leonard Bernstein Centenary production of Bernstein’s "Peter Pan," directed by Christopher Alden.
