The Golden Belt Community Concert Association will present David Burnham showcasing his roles from Broadway musicals including “Wicked,” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone.
This GBCCA event is open to association members. No single concert tickets are available. Full-time students will be admitted for a $5 donation at the door.
Burnham was last seen on Broadway in the mega-hit musical, "Wicked," playing Fiyero, a role that he originated in the developmental workshops of the show. He is an original Broadway cast member of the musical "The Light in the Piazza," performing both on the Tony Awards and the PBS telecast, "Live from Lincoln Center."
He is the recipient of the prestigious Helen Hayes Award for Best Actor as well as the Best Actor "Garland Award" for his portrayal of Fabrizio in the national tour of "The Light in the Piazza."


Burnham first gained critical acclaim when, after a two-year search, he was chosen to replace Donny Osmond as Joseph in the national tour of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," receiving the Dramalogue Award. He toured nationally in another Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster playing Peter in "Jesus Christ Superstar."
Recently in New York City, he starred in the new Off-Broadway show, "The Best Is Yet to Come - The Music of CY Coleman." He was the voice of the Prince in the Warner Bros. animated feature, "The King and I," and can be heard on the soundtracks to "Ghepetto" and "Home on the Range."


Burnham performs with symphonies across the country and his solo concert has been seen in the United States, Canada and Europe. He has recorded two solo albums, his self-titled CD and "One Day." Burnham works extensively with kids through vocal and acting workshops and hosts a summer program for young artists called "Camp Sing." He is currently starring in "Showstoppers" at the Wynn in Las Vegas.
