Lee Roy Reams
Broadway’s beloved Lee Roy Reams reminisces in story and song about his up-close-and-personal relationship with stage and screen legend Lauren Bacall. He knew, worked with, and loved Bacall. But she was still Betty Joan Perske from the Bronx when they were alone. Now the star-studded inside scoop!
“Actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, and risqué Scheherazade, Lee Roy Reams is the Zelig of musical theater,” summed up Alix Cohen for theaterlife.com. Kentucky-born, openly gay, a Tony-nominated star of the original 42nd Street, Reams was the first male actor to play openly gay in a Broadway musical, Applause, starring Bacall. He was also the first American male to play the title role in a production of Hello, Dolly! A cowboy in Oklahoma!, an Olympic athlete in Lorelei, and a candelabra in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, he wore $10,000 dresses in La Cage aux Folles, Victor/Victoria, and The Producers. His TV, concert & cabaret appearances have taken him worldwide and four times to the White House.
