Ciao and Hello:

To All. My 'RENT' experience was incredible! The rehearsals were Hell on Earth, but the premier was unforgettable and the run was a GRAND success. Rosario Dawson (from 'SIN CITY,' 'ALEXANDER,' '25 Hours,' & the film version of 'RENT' was at our opening night! What an amazing woman!

The Best part of the experience was flying my Father in for the premier and a few days later, taking him to meet Maestro Lucianno Pavarotti. I still don't believe it happened.

News about 'RENT' Summer Tour in Italy and 'Peter Pan' in Milan in the Fall are coming soon!

All The Best, Everyone!
Thank You for Your Support!

Ciao Everyone!

As all of Italy (and anyone with satellite TV) knows, I've been all over RAI 2 this summer. Friday Sept 2, it all culminated in one incredible night called MUSCIAL Che GARDA. I performed onstage in front of almost 2000 people in Bardolino on the shore of beautiful Lake Garda. A 25 piece orchestra with back-up singers and a troupe of 24 dancers...a beautiful set, lights from a major TV/Film/Broadway production, a five (maybe 6 or 7) camera set-up... Legendary Italian Muscial Artists like Lucio Dalla and Massimo Ranieri, Gianpiero Ingrassia (and so many more!). . .I performed....Closed the show with "I'm Going Home," and won and Rai Garda Musical Award for Best Foreign Perform in Italian Theatre!

A few days before, I performed in Hannover at the ROCKY HORROR FAREWELL SHOW. It was awesome!!! It was great to meet the cast that I will be closing the Euro-Tour with in Milan from November 1st to the 13th at Teatro Ciak in MILANO!

There's more to come!

All the best and thank You for everything!!
 

       

Hello & Ciao,

To everyone! After a long summer of Italy and three TV shows on RAI, things look really good! Circumstances are dictating that I move to Rome for a while to see how things pan out.

I am breaking a little promise right now...but my boss never reads this site so I think I'll be ok...

I AM performing at the August 27th ROCKY HORROR CONCERT in Hannover. Everyone come....we'll party like CRAZY!!!

On September 1st I will be the featured performer in a LIVE Theatre Musical Gala. It will take place in Bardolino, Italy on the shores of beautiful Lago de Garda...Garda Lake.

Also, this winter, I will probably be doing the Winter Tour of Sat Nite Fever in ITaly...and taking Italian Lessons....my Goal? To have my own TV show in Italy by 2007!

Thanks to everyone.....

Please accept my apologies for not updating...my webmaster has been Busy and I have been on 24 airplanes in the last 8 weeks!

More news soon....
 
       


 

Ciao, Hi, and thanks for your support!

I am currently in Cleveland for the Spring. Even though my '04 fall return to Milan with Rocky was a smashing success, the powers that be have decided that the Spring Italian gig and following dates in Germany and Austria would be too short a stint: i.e.: More time on the road than performing onstage would prove too stressful for me and wind up not being economical for the company.
Quite honestly, I disagree, but a part of me remembers the HORROR of traveling every day on the 'BUS of DOOM!'

All the best to Dean Maynard! Enjoy Italy as I have been able to do for the last nine years! I hope everyone gives him a warm welcome.

Not to worry my Italia! I will be returning to the high heels of Frank in November to close the European Tour of Rocky Horror at Teatro Ciak. . .

As to current events. . .I was planning on returning to Italy (Roma) at this time to work on my CD with the incredible music director Maurizzio Campo, but my trip was delayed due to the passing of Pope John Paul II. My heartfelt respect and love and prayers to The Holy Father.

Thank You, everyone. . .
I'm not missing in action, just taking a little break before taking Europe by storm. . .again.

All the Best...
 

       


 

Hello Everyone!

My Web-Master, my great little brother, has been doing some awesome things, adding pictures and reviews and a little shopping experience. Personally, I am very impressed! Hope you like the headshots we've put up for you....coming soon are a few more items like autographed Rocky T-shirts (circa 97-98) and MAYBE....just maybe, one of my old Rocky tour jackets. . .

Once again I have to thank everyone at BC&E and the city of Milan for a wonderful Autumn season. Hopefully I'll be back in Milan in October-November at Teatro Ciak with Rocky. (You didn't hear it from me!)

I am still waiting to hear from the 'Powers that Be' about the spring schedule of Rocky in Austria and Italy. . .The newest Grande Master of TV in Italy, Massimo Piparo, has alluded to several appearances this Summer on Rai (National Italian Television). So, as usual, my future as Frank is in the hands of the Producers and Directors---Germans and Brits and Italians, OH MY!

Thanks for all of your support. . .

I mean it. . .

 
       


 

CIAO! Thanks to Everyone in Milano. I mean Everyone. The production of ROCKY at Teatro Ciak in that awesome northern Italian City surpassed all exceptions! Our production was a HIT! We were the number ONE show (ticket sales) in the entire country for 2 weeks, selling out night after night!

I want to thank the entire cast....What a great time I had! Also I would like to thank Gian-Mario ( The Theatre Master of Milano), Bodo at BCE, Chris Malcolm at Rocky Lmt. London, Alessandra, The Mistress of Teatro Ciak, Poalo Rota, my friend and Brother, Matt-the-Musical-Genius (who wants me for his next Musical), PW for his patience and support, My Sam and Renee, old friends who became DEAR friends again...James, just because...

I have had the best two months. . .

My CD is STILL in the works! Nobody panic! (I am stressed out enough for
everyone) It is coming....

My return to Rocky is still a little in the air, but it's looking like Spring in Europe with a focus on Italy, duh! Also I am in up for a series of TV shows there in the summer, (thanks, Massimo Romeo Piparo)!

My webmaster, my brother, thought some of you, the people I cannot do what I do without, might like autographed PICS of me. If you do, let us know. There will probably be a small charge for production and mailing and my beer money....

Thanks to every single one of you who have made my career a joy!!!

 
       


 

Hello everyone! And thanks for hitting my new site!  I am really excited to be back at work after a summer off.  Yes...Rocky has called again...almost begged, actually, but as anyone who knows me can say, it's Bob's show...the show he loves more than any other.  MILAN is the city...October 21st is the opening day...Theatro Ciak...
 
I am working on a CD with my producer in Rome, who was also my Muscial Director from the Italian Saturday Night Fever....and I will finally be getting off my lazy butt and continue writing to completion, my book about the 'ROCKY' experience over the years...
 
All the best,
