About the artist
Andrew Keenan-Bolger is an American actor and singer best known for his work on Broadway, including originating the role of Crutchie in Disney's «Newsies» and appearing in productions such as «Seussical» and «Tarzan». He grew up performing in regional and touring theater before establishing himself in New York, and much of his recorded output comes from cast albums of the musicals he has appeared in rather than standalone solo releases.
Beyond the stage, Keenan-Bolger built a following online, co-creating and starring in the web series «Submissions Only» with Kate Wetherhead, and remains an active voice in the musical theater community as a performer, writer, and advocate. His musical output reflects the sound of contemporary Broadway and Disney theatrical scoring rather than a pop career built around chart singles.
Songs like «Santa Fe (Prologue)», «Seventeen», and «Top of the World» tie him closely to the «Newsies» cast recording, one of the defining credits of his career.
