This week leading up to the Tony Awards, we are rolling out a daily video featuring a Colorado actor working on Broadway. No. 3: Eaglecrest High School graduate Andy Kelso, who is starring as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots.

“It’s always fun to be a jerk when you are an actor, because it’s not fun to be a jerk in real life, I don’t think,” says Kelso, who also gives us a sense of how he might sound as a singer of Italian arias.

Believe it or not, Kelso is coming up on the 10-year anniversary of his Broadway debut in Mamma Mia back on Oct. 19, 2005.
