David starred as All-American, Billy Crocker – a New York stockbroker head over heals in love – in Goodspeed Musical’s first production of their 2016 season.


Joining David was Rashidra Scott (Beautiful – The Carol King Musical) as Reno Sweeney and Stephen DeRosa (Into The Woods, Boardwalk Empire) as Moonfaced Martin in Cole Porter’s classic musical from the 1930’s. With a score featuring It’s Delovely, I Get A Kick Out Of You, Easy To Love and All Through the Night, the New York Times said, “It’s a stem-to-stern voyage of perfection that boasts impeccable casting, brilliant performances”.


Goodspeed Musicals is one of America’s well respected regional theaters and is the birthplace of some of the world’s most famous musicals, including Annie, Man of La Mancha and Shenandoah.
