David Burnham was last seen on Broadway in the mega-hit musical Wicked, playing Fiyero—a role he originated in the show’s developmental workshops. He is an original Broadway cast member of The Light in the Piazza, performing both on the Tony Awards and PBS’s Live From Lincoln Center.

 

He received the prestigious Helen Hayes Award and the Garland Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Fabrizio in the national tour of The Light in the Piazza. David first gained critical acclaim when, after a two-year search, he was chosen to replace Donny Osmond as Joseph in the national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Dramalogue Award). He also toured nationally in Jesus Christ Superstar as Peter.

 

In New York, he appeared in the original Off-Broadway cast of The Best Is Yet to Come – The Music of Cy Coleman, directed by David Zippel, and in Las Vegas, he starred in the original cast of Showstoppers at the Wynn Resort.

 

Other favorite roles include Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Joe Gillis in Sunset Blvd., Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, Baron Felix in Grand Hotel, Cain in Children of Eden, Nanki-Poo in The Hot Mikado, Billy in Letters From 'Nam, Jason in Ordinary Days, Charlie in Peggy Sue Got Married, and The Actor in The Woman in Black.

 

On film, David was the voice of the Prince in the Warner Bros. animated feature The King and I, and can be heard on the soundtracks of Gepetto, Disney’s Home on the Range, and Comedy Central’s South Park.

 

David performs with symphonies across the country, and his solo concert has been seen throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has recorded two solo albums — David Burnham and One Day.

 

As a writer, his musical Happy 50ish (co-written with Mark Vogel and Lynn Shore) ran Off-Broadway and continues to be performed regionally. He currently has two other musicals in development. David also works extensively with young performers through vocal and acting workshops and hosts a summer program for aspiring artists called Camp Sing.
