Having played such award-winning roles in "The Wild Party," and a Grammy for Classical Recording, Nathan takes on every challenge, like playing twins on "Scrubs", one straight and one gay. He kicked off the 2008 theatre season with the critically acclaimed role of Kafka's the Hunger Artist in “Three Lost Chords.” Next was “Wig Out,” directed by Tina Landau, - “a gutsy, pulsing portrait of uptown drag queens and the men who love them have reinvented the world from the ground up.”
Next, Nathan Lee Graham goes from Broadway to the headline a cabaret/poetry show, “An Upright One Night Stand” in Hollywood and to work on 2 new feature films, Bob King’s “Tarzana” and another upcoming Disney movie.
“Nathan Lee Graham, the tenor, in a tailcoat and a black T-shirt sings the role with an electrifying clarity and magnificent dramatic timing, but his strongest assets in this theater’s intimate confines are his vast repertory of expressive facial gestures and a commanding, powerful voice. It hardly matters that his character is fading to an emaciated wisp; the power of his voice seems to suit the hunger artist’s domineering spirit.”
