September 15 - October 3, 1999 at the Gateway Playhouse - (Long Island, NY):
Tom is playing the role of William Murdoch -- the First Officer of the Titanic. As this character, Tom will be singing the solo entilted To be a Captain. Mr. Murdoch was the ranking officer on the bridge when the ship hit the iceberg. Titanic is a powerful musical of the most historic sea voyage of the century. For the first time on Long Island, the 1997 Tony Award winning Best Musical offers us a beautiful Maury Yeston (Phantom) score, underlying the tragedy of all aboard that fateful trip on the world's greatest ocean-liner, once considered "unsinkable." From the breathtaking departure to the first warning, to the harrowing end, the stiry lives on in an exquisite production to behold.
This show will be the inaugural performance at the newly restored Patchogue Theatre (** please note: this show will not be at Gateway's Bellport theatre). Call (516) 286-1133 for tickets. For more information check out Gateway Playhouse's web site.
