About the artist
Brandon Jacob Uranowitz is an American stage and television actor known primarily for his work in musical theatre. He gained wide recognition for playing composer George Gershwin's brother Ira-inspired figure and pianist role Adam Hochberg in the Broadway musical An American in Paris, and for his portrayal of Mendel, the psychiatrist, in the 2016 Broadway revival of William Finn's Falsettos, a role that placed him at the center of one of that season's most acclaimed musical revivals.
His presence on the Lyricser catalogue reflects that Falsettos work directly: songs like «March of the Falsettos», «Jason's Therapy», «Please Come to Our House», and «Falsettoland (Reprise)» come from the show's densely sung-through score, which blends conversational recitative with sweeping ensemble numbers. Uranowitz's musical-theatre credits sit within the Pop tag loosely, since cast recordings of contemporary book musicals are often filed there despite their theatrical, character-driven songwriting.
Beyond Falsettos and An American in Paris, Uranowitz has built a career spanning both stage and screen, known among musical-theatre audiences for a versatile, emotionally precise approach to character roles rather than leading-man parts, making him a recurring presence in acclaimed Broadway revivals and new productions.
