(he/him) is making his 21st appearance onstage for Music Theater Works, having appeared initially in H.M.S. Pinafore back in 1981, and just last season as “Francis” in La Cage Aux Folles. Tom recently appeared as “Peachum” in Threepenny Opera for Theo, and has also been seen at City Lit, Drury Lane Oakbrook, Second City Theatricals, The Mercury Theater, TimeLine, and many other Chicagoland theaters. Between 2013 and 2019, and again in 2021, he had the pleasure of performing Chamber Opera Chicago’s adaptation of Austen’s Persuasion, which traveled to the United Kingdom annually and played London, Portsmouth, Windsor, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and New York City. He is also the author of a book, “Broadway’s Most Wanted,” which is available on the internet any old time. Tom wishes to dedicate this performance to the memory of Dr. Michael Pufall.
