Will Swenson

This is the 115th post in our Celebrity of the Day series.



Will Swenson was born in 1973 in Utah. Will was born into a theater-loving home and it was not long before he developed his own love of theater and performing. He attended Brigham University and even worked as an LDS missionary. But he is no longer a practicing Mormon.

Will has appeared on Broadway in Lestat, 110 in the Shade and Brooklyn. He created the role of Stacee Jaxx in the musical Rock of Ages but declined the role due to the fact that he was offered to play the lead in Hair. He was also Sir Sagramore in Camelot at Lincoln Center and Chris in the 2nd National Tour of Miss Saigon.

Will has continued to play the lead in Hair on the new revival on Broadway from 2009.
