Josh Breckenridge
Josh Breckenridge, while in the deep depths of tech rehearsals at the James Earl Jones managed to come On The Couch with us this week. The Heart of Rock and Roll features the catalogue of 80s hit band, Huey Lewis and The News and Josh plays the up-tight, career focused, questionably lovable, Wyatt. Breckenridge is no stranger to the Broadway Stage, having completed lengthy runs in Come From Away and The Scottsboro Boys. His National Tour credits, including The Book of Mormon and Into The Woods, helped to create one of his most embarrassing moments, which you can read more below! Finally, it seems that we will all also be joining Josh on May 31 for the release of Ben Platt’s new album “Honeymind”…
