Some favorites include the Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, national tours of Into the Woods (the Baker), Godspell (Jesus) and Copacabana (Willy). Thom has had the honor of singing alongside Barry Manilow, playing the Mandalay Bay in Vegas and Madison Square Garden, and appearing in a variety of concerts celebrating the works of Stephen Sondheim at Avery Fisher Hall and NYC’s Symphony Space.
