Telly starred in the final Broadway cast of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent, which was filmed for DVD release. In the 2011 revival of Godspell, his version of “All Good Gifts” was praised as “magnificent” by New York Magazine, “superb” by The Philadelphia Inquirer, and “a standout” by Bloomberg News. On Fox TV’s ”Glee,” Leung was featured as a member of the Dalton Academy Warblers opposite Darren Criss. When he recreated his portrayal of “Angel” in Rent at the Hollywood Bowl – directed by Neil Patrick Harris – he was called “vibrant” by the Los Angeles Times, “stunning” by the Orange County Register and praised for his “sweet, clear tenor” by Variety. Telly also originated the role of Boq in the Chicago production of the smash hit Wicked and has performed in concert and shows at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Hippodrome in London, Birdland Jazz Club and 54 Below in New York, Paper Mill Playhouse, Philadelphia Theater Company, Ford’s Theater, and more. He served as producer for the short film Grind, starring Anthony Rapp (If/Then, Rent), Claire Coffee (“Grimm,” “The West Wing”) and Pasha Pellosie (“The Carrie Diaries”). The movie, which won honors at film festivals around the country, is available to stream atGrindShortFilm.com. The soundtrack is available on Yellow Sound Label. Telly is also the co-producer of the touring concert series “Broadway Back Together,” a reunion of major headliners who have performed on Broadway together, sharing an evening of personal backstage anecdotes and show-stopping music. www.TellyLeung.com @TellyLeung Instagram Telly Leung – Songs For You Allegiance   Jay Kuo on his score for the Broadway musical ALLEGIANCE w/Lea Salonga, George Takei & More Allegiance || First Look   Reviews: CP: Misery @ Broadhurst Theatre, 235 West 44th Street MP + CP + JM: On Your Feet, Marquis Theatre, 1535 Broadway CP: Henry IV @ St Ann's Warehouse, 45 Water Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201, through December 6, 2015 -- "I Was Fed Up" — The 180-Degree Decision to Stage Shakespeare With Only Women by Carey Purcell (Interview with Phyllida Lloyd about Henry IV) - See more at: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/i-was-fed-up-the-180-degree-decision-to-stage-shakespeare-with-only-women-370143#sthash.hjqCZXPe.dpuf -- 'Hamilton' creator would love women to play the founding fathers by Kelly Lawler, USA TODAY -- Gelsey Kirkland Arts Center, 29 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 MP: Shear Madness @ New World Stages, 340 West 50th Street CP: Thérèse Raquin @ Studio 54, 254 West 54th Street, through January 3, 2016   News:    Television with Matt Tamanini:  Additional Grease Live Casting The Wiz Live! - Shanice Williams and Stephanie Mills Sing "Home" (Digital Exclusive) Oscar Contending films with theatre stars released this week   Tours:  MT: Cinderella Tour Review @ Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts (Orlando, FL)   Recordings:  Post Script: Next Week:  Explicit: No Music: “SONGS FOR YOU” 5) Leaving On A Jet Plane 11) Make Your Own Kind of Music 12) A Song for You   Contact Info: Email addresses: see above Phone / Voicemail: +1-888-285-4666 BroadwayStars: Twitter | Facebook Subscribe: Stitcher: Stitcher App iPhone/iPod: iTunes Listen on BroadwayWorld Radio Wednesdays at noon, Thursdays at 7pm and Saturdays at 2pm We need Listener Volunteers to help out with a few projects.
