Astorian has moment in spotlight as 'Memphis' lead
By Raphael Sugarman
Thursday, February 4, 2010 5:12 PM EST
Bryan Fenkart got some rather jolting news recently when he stepped off-stage after performing his regular role as a member of the chorus in the lively Broadway musical “Memphis.”
The show’s stage manager told the Astoria actor that Chad Kimball, the longtime male lead in the production, was ill and that Fenkart would be standing in for him the following day — a matinee Wednesday with afternoon and evening performances.
“What I felt was a cocktail of joy and terror,” Fenkart recalled. “I knew that I had done everything I could for weeks rehearsing the role. But you never really know what’s going to happen until you are shot out of the cannon.”
The prospect of playing lead character Huey Calhoun was particularly daunting for Fenkart for several reasons. “Memphis” is not only Fenkart’s debut on a Broadway stage, but one of the first times he has combined his acting and singing skills in a musical theater production.
“Memphis” has also grown up with Kimball in the role of Huey, for six years, in much less lavish productions in Massachusetts, California, and Washington state. “In the 2 1/2 hour show, Huey is offstage for only about four minutes.” said Fenkart.

So I have been remiss in my blogging, for which I have taken a flogging. For that, I apologize. I will make it up to you by kissing all you dear readers directly on the mouth.*
I plan on keeping you all much more frequently posted, as well as finally completing the final 2 installments in my "Imperfect Man" song blog series. So much has happened since last I wrote on here, so it's high time we reconnect, don't you think? Let's make it happen. Oh, and if you wanna keep the MOST of to snuff on everything, I just learned how to tweet from my phone, so now I'm gonna be one of those annoying pests who tells you when they're taking a crap. So follow me! @Steinway7. To be continued...
*Must be attractive female.
