Actor Josh Marin (BFA ’12) joins the cast of the uproarious Tony Award-winning musical The Book of Mormon on the Altria Theater stage this week. As a member of the ensemble cast, Marin is part of the Broadway production’s national tour, which will also stop in Philadelphia, Toronto and San Diego later this year.
Marin, who currently lives in New York but has had starring roles in many Virginia Repertory Theatre productions, spoke with Broadway World about returning to RVA.
“I remember when the Altria Theater was called the Landmark, and I saw STOMP there,” Marin said. “It was at that moment that I told myself, ‘one way or another I am going to be on that stage in my hometown.’”
At 28 years old, Marin is excited to make The Book of Mormon his first national tour and says the experience has been unforgettable. He is thrilled to be able to perform in front of many friends, family and colleagues this week.
“It is surreal to be back in Richmond with a show of this magnitude and such acclaim,” he says. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is actually happening!”
The Book of Mormon plays at the Altria Theater through Sunday, March 31. Tickets are available through Etix. Students are eligible for discounted fare with a VCU ID.
