In fact it was Spencer taking me out to Kentridge High School’s last production of “EVITA.” which completely won us over! Well, nothing could be farther from the truth. I never thought that two discriminating theatre snobs, Like Spencer and myself would be SO starving for new theater, that we would be reduced to High School suburbia theatre… I think that we both have found diamond in the rough…in regards to AMAZING theatre! That night we were treated to a wonderful production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Last Saturday, my best bud, Spencito Fairbanks and I embarked on a trek south to Kentridge High School.

Like most working actors, LaMarr has struggled to achieve his dreams, “living off of water and cornbread,” but it’s been worth it, he says, because he’s been able to live in his truth.Ī New Yorker since 2014, it’s taken him a decade to get to where he is now, but LaMarr is grateful for the opportunities he’s had. As for striking out on his own, the 28-year-old says, “millennials are all about following their dreams.” Once he found his calling as a performer, LaMarr says he was determined to follow his dreams, despite his parents wanting him to follow a more traditional path, like going to college. “I kind of fell in love with the sound you can make, even with your own voice,” he says. He took music classes and learned to play the clarinet and saxophone.
He grew up singing in his grandfather’s church choir and listening to Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, but it was when he auditioned for his high school musical that he was “bitten by the bug,” LaMarr recalls. “It’s a universal story about how you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.” “It’s kind of great to be part of a show that celebrates music and its creation,” says LaMarr. The musical tells the true story of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, four blue-collar guys from Newark, New Jersey, who became one of the biggest musical acts of all time, selling more than 100 million records worldwide.Īlthough Compton, California, and Newark, New Jersey may seem like two completely different worlds, LaMarr and the Four Seasons group have something in common - a love for singing and performing. “Jersey Boys” opens in Boston for a limited two-week run beginning Tuesday, Oct. For show times and tickets, call Ticketmaster at 800.982.2786 or visit LaMarr, who plays Barry Belson, a role performed by Titus Burgess (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) on Broadway, also is part of the ensemble in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical based about the life of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
