David Engel

A longtime Musical Theatre West favorite, HAIRSPRAY marks David's 12th show on this stage in productions such as CRAZY FOR YOU, THE FULL MONTY, THE PRODUCERS, and LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. He is most noted for creating the role of Smudge in the original New York production of FOREVER PLAID and its holiday follow-up PLAID TIDINGS. And now you can actually watch David and his fellow original Plaids in FOREVER PLAID: THE MOVIE on DVD...FINALLY!!! Mr. Engel has appeared on Broadway in PUTTING IT TOGETHER, SEUSSICAL: THE MUSICAL and in the original Broadway production of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. He has been a proud member of Actor's Equity Association for over 30 years and has enjoyed performing all over the country and the world, but always loves returning to his Musical Theatre West family. Thank you to Paul Garman and Steve Glaudini for all the great opportunities to play here. And thanks to Larry Raben for casting me in this show!!!
