Colin Wheeler
Colin Wheeler, cast member in Near West's productions of A Christmas Story, the Musical, Once On This Island, Jr., Shrek the Musical, and Move On!, recently performed alongside Broadway greats Andrew Lippa and Kristin Chenoweth (!!!) in a performance of I am Anne Hutchinson/ I am Harvey Milk.
As one reviewer puts it, "The young fifth grader, Colin Wheeler, who doubles as the young Samuel Hutchinson and the young Harvey Milk, has an astounding future ahead of him. Energetic and spunky, the young Mr. Wheeler captivated the crowd with every number."
