Production Team

MICHAEL CHAPMAN began performing professionally at the age of seven as a child prodigy from a musical family. His innate musical abilities and a genuine enthusiasm for entertaining continued throughout his career. One of his earliest acclaimed shows, THE CURTAIN CALLS, was a contemporary musical-comedy vaudeville act featured on the Golden Globe Awards and it introduced him to national television audiences. His enormously popular hit show HIDDEN BROADWAY SHOWSTOPPERS! played to packed houses and won numerous theatrical awards. As the original producer/director of New York's longest running hit musical satire, FORBIDDEN BROADWAY, Michael continues today to be a dynamic influence in the industry.

Utilizing his extensive experience as a producer/director together with being an accomplished pianist and musical arranger, he has created shows ranging from a musical-comedy re-enactment of a live radio presentation which appeared at Carnegie Hall, to large-scale musicals and corporate events with casts of hundreds at New York's Lincoln Center.

In addition to performing and working in all aspects of creative theatrical production, including musical shows and headlining acts for some of the world's largest cruise lines, Michael further enjoys coaching privately and has been on the staff of UCLA conducting classes in performing and auditioning.

He also performs his own headlining act and has appeared with scores of stars including showbiz legends Phyllis Diller, Sonny and Cher, Don Rickles and Johnny Carson.

  

PAUL HOLMQUIST began his professional career singing and dancing as one of Disneyland's featured performers in KIDS OF THE KINGDOM. This led to a long run at Tokyo Disneyland as well as at Sanrio Puroland, another of Japan's multi-million dollar theme parks. He also appeared in numerous television commercials and print ads in addition to many roles in television dramas and made-for-TV movies.

In addition to performing, Paul enjoys working as a choregrapher. Teaming up with award-winning director Michael Chapman, one of his favorite projects was choreographing EVERYTHING'S COMING UP BROADWAY which appeared at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. This huge musical production show was sponsored by The Footlighters and proved to be the most successful event ever held by this prestigious charitable organization.

In addition to his acting, singing and choreographic skills, Paul is also a classically trained pianist. Pursuing his first love, musical theatre, he has appeared in scores of memorable musicals including ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, THE MUSIC MAN, WEST SIDE STORY, BABES IN ARMS, HELLO DOLLY!, THE PAJAMA GAME, and the west coast premiere of ME AND MY GIRL.
