Spring Awakening Opening Night September 28, 2015
Red carpet appearance along with my dear friends Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos at the opening night of Spring Awakening on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York CIty.
Spring Awakening on Broadway
I was so honored to be part of the Deaf West Theater’s production of SPRING AWAKENING in Los Angeles, which floored the critics when it premiered in California. Now this brilliant production is coming to Broadway in New York! I am on the creative team as Music Coordinator and will also be playing violin on stage in the show every night.
Deaf West’s innovative new production takes this already revolutionary musical to electrifying new heights by choreographing sign language into the production, intensifying the rift between the lost and longing teenagers and the adults who refuse to hear them. Directed by Michael Arden, Deaf West’s SPRING AWAKENING is full of knockout performances, explosive music and soul-stirring emotion, but it’s only on Broadway through January 9.
You don't want to miss this limited 18 weeks Broadway run of this spectacular show. Opening night for previews is on September 8, 2015 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Opening night is on September 27, 2015. For more information, visit www.springawakeningthemusical.com.

Spring Awakening Opening Night - May 28, 2015
I am so proud of this production. We have opening night tonight of Spring Awakening. This cast, these musicians, the crew, this creative team, are a special bunch and each so extremely talented.

Even though this is a revival, it is being done in an entirely new and beautiful way. I am confident you will be hearing more about this production. It is something special.

She quickly learns that surviving the treacherous waters of being a teenager can be more difficult than international espionage.

Rachael Harris Elopes with Christian Hebel – with Neil Patrick Harris as Their Witness!
“Musician Christian Hebel’s proposal to actress Rachael Harris was perfectly romantic.
He popped the question in Capri, Italy, after the couple attended the wedding of pals Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka.
About eight months later, they said “I do” in a more low-key – but every bit as special – way, eloping with a small ceremony at New York’s City Hall, their rep tells PEOPLE.
Harris, Burtka and Kelly Ripa served as witnesses. After exchanging vows, the newlyweds took the subway for lunch at Gramercy Tavern.
”It was a beautiful, sunny spring day!” the rep says. ”

Christian Hebel at YoungArts Week 2015
It was YoungArts Week January 4-11, 2015 in Miami where we selected the 2015 Presidential Scholars in the Arts. There were a pool of over 11,000 young artists this year from across the country. That number was reduced to just under 200 students who were in Miami. Twenty (20) were chosen as Presidential Scholars and invited to perform and show their art at the White House. The students have been creating, writing and collaborating every day this week and they are crazy talented.
I taught a MasterClass on January 9, 2015 for some incredibly gifted and cool young musicians. It was a true honor to once again work with the gifted artists of YoungArts Foundation.
YoungArts is the signature national organization that recognizes and supports America’s most talented 15-18 year old artists in the visual, literary and performing arts. For more information, visit their website - www.youngarts.org.
