Get to know some of our favourite artists! Triple Threat is an annual feature that reveals which musicals and musical experiences left lasting impressions on the performers involved in The Musical Stage Company’s UnCovered Concert series. Up first is Jake Epstein!

Jake is a returning UnCovered favourite and we’re thrilled to have him back for UnCovered: Dylan & Springsteen. Jake’s recent credits include on Broadway: Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (original Gerry Goffin); Spider-Man (Peter Parker/Spider-Man). First National Tours: Spring Awakening (Melchior); American Idiot (Will). Off-Broadway: Straight. Selected Toronto Theatre: Therefore Choose Life (HGJT, co-writer); Billy Elliot: The Musical (Mirvish); Dog Sees God (Michael Rubinoff); Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast (Ross Petty); Dani Girl (Talk is Free). On television, Jake is known for having played Craig on Degrassi (Gemini Award), but most recently can be seen in Designated Survivor and Suits. 

 

I’m a much bigger fan of musicals with original stories! But if I had to pick off the top of my head, I’d love to see either The Mask or Liar Liar (or another Jim Carey film from the 90’s) turned into a musical comedy. 

 

 

Big the Musical. Yup.
