Sam has starred on Broadway in GREASE (Drama Desk nom), THE LIFE (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critic's Circle noms), THE PRODUCERS, the Broadway National Tour of JOSEPH and in numerous other productions. He is a multi-million selling recording artist, a published comedic essayist, and also writes for television and film.
