The Shippensburg Festival Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Sean O’Loughlin, features Aaron Tveit, a Tony-winning American actor, in an evening of songs from the stage and screen.
Tveit earned a 74th Annual Tony Award leading the cast of the world premiere production of MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL. A stage adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s critically acclaimed film, the Grammy-nominated show premiered on Broadway in the summer of 2019. Tveit also received an Outer Critics Circle honor for his performance.
Television audiences know him from USA Network series GRACELAND, the CBS comic thriller BRAINDEAD, where he played the male lead, Gareth, opposite Mary Elizabeth Winstead. He also appeared in the Emmy Award-winning television musical GREASE: LIVE, where he played Danny Zuko opposite Julianne Hough and Vanessa Hudgens. Most recently, Tveit was seen in Hallmark’s ONE ROYAL HOLIDAY, opposite of fellow Broadway star Laura Osnes. He will next be seen in Apple TV+’s upcoming, untitled musical comedy series, produced by Lorne Michaels. He has also held numerous guest-starring roles on THE GOOD FIGHT, GOSSIP GIRL, THE GOOD WIFE, UGLY BETTY, and LAW & ORDER: SVU.
Tveit’s film credits include LES MISERABLES, where he was seen portraying the character Enjolras alongside Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, OUT OF BLUE, CREATED EQUAL, BETTER OFF SINGLE, UNDRAFTED, PREMIUM RUSH, HOWL, and GHOST TOWN.
On Broadway, he starred in CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, in the role of Frank Abagnale Jr., and also created the role of “Gabe” in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical, NEXT TO NORMAL, which he developed off-Broadway at the Second Stage Theatre and debuted on Broadway.
