Kevin Kravitz

as Rusty Charlie/Big Jule

Seeing Kevin Kravitz play a tough guy is almost like seeing Mister Rogers play a tough guy. But that is what acting is all about! Kevin plays Big Jule from Chicago right on the heels of playing the heroes: Mordecai in The Book of Esther, the designer of the Titanic & the understanding husband in Freaky Friday. Kevin just loves singing in this revival of this beloved musical.
