Jersey Boys favorite JOHN MICHAEL DIAS releases his first solo album featuring "The Way Life Is" from A HISTORY OF SUMMER, music by Jonathan Monro, lyric by Adam Mathias. Now available on Amazon, iTunes and Spotify.
New songs from A History of Summer will be presented in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada Friday April 19, 2013 when Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra features composer/performer Jonathan Monro with special guests Krystin Pellerin and Julia Halfyard. A musical celebration of the dreams we dream, the mistakes we make, and the curveballs life has in store for us. Featuring new music by David Spencer and 8-time Academy Award Winner Alan Menken, 2011 Drama Desk Award Winner Adam Mathias and Jonathan Munro, plus favorites from The Fantasticks, The Light in the Piazza, Chess, Anything Goes and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. A spectacular close to a spectacular season! I am proud to report that this weekend I was honored with the Rainbow of Possibilities Award by the GSA of Worcester Academy. In addition to accepting the award, I gave the keynote speech to a collection of students from Gay Straight Alliances from across Massachusetts. I was deeply impressed by the students and am proud to be considered a role model.
Being interviewed by MD Theatre Guide's Joel Markowitz a few minutes after being awarded Outstanding Book of a Musical at the 2011 Drama Desk Awards. Beating out the expected winner The Book of Mormon, Adam Mathias was the recipient of the 2011 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical for See Rock City & Other Destinations! One of only two of the awards to go to an artist from a non-Broadway show.
