"Ugly Betty"s Michael Urie to join Broadway's HOW TO SUCCEED...

The producers of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING announced today that Michael Urie (“Ugly Betty,” The Temperamentals) will make his Broadway debut as Bud Frump, beginning Tuesday, January 24, 2012, for 6 months through Sunday, July 1, 2012.

Urie will co-star with Nick Jonas and Beau Bridges. Tickets for Urie’s engagement in HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING are now on sale.

Michael Urie is currently starring as Yepikhodov in the Classic Stage Company’s production of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. He also recently starred in the Signature Theatre Company’s revival of Angels in America as Prior Walter, as well as the 2009’s The Temperamentals, in which he originated the role of Rudi Gernreich and received a Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Actor. Also in New York, Michael has worked with The Nerve Ensemble at HERE, The Foundry, HB Playwrights, and in WTC VIEW during the Fringe Festival, which went on to become a film from director/writer Brian Sloan.

Michael was seen opposite Vanessa Williams for four seasons on ABCs hit series UGLY BETTY as 'Marc.'

I saw Michael in the Angels In America revival and he was perfection.  As I'm certain he will be in HOW TO SUCCEED.  Make sure you see him in the show.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING began previews on Saturday, February 26, 2011 and opened Sunday, March 27 at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street).
