Michael Rupert
From Legally Blonde.
Legally Blonde’s resident legal shark Michael Rupert talks about why his role as that musical’s unsavory Professor Callahan is consistent with other roles he often plays and talks about being the senior member of a youthful company; recalls being cast at age 15 by Gower Champion in The Happy Time and what he learned from Robert Goulet, Charles Durning and Kander & Ebb in that production; describes working with Bob Fosse on two productions — replacing John Rubenstein in the title role of Pippin (which Rupert says was Fosse’s metaphor for the Manson Family) and later playing Oscar in the 1986 revival of Sweet Charity; reflects on the role of Marvin in the various incarnations of William Finn’s Falsettos over more than a decade; and chronicles his parallel theatrical career as the composer of 3 Guys Naked Form The Waist Down, Mail and the upcoming Streets Of America.
