A favorite role was Tobias in the 1st National Tour of "Sweeney Todd" directed by John Doyle.

Chris Marchant (2nd violinist, vocalist) is proud to be part of this production of Well-Strung.

Favorite productions include Tobias (Sweeney Todd, nat'l tour), violinist (Spring Awakening nat'l tour), Dennis (Sanders Family Christmas), and Provincetown's Naked Boys Singing.

A New Jersey native, Daniel recently moved back east to NYC after having a much needed and wonderful detour to Denver for almost two years.
