Euan MORTON

BIOGRAPHY:

Euan Morton was born on the 13th August 1977 in Falkirk, and is an actor and singer, perhaps most famous for his role as Boy George in the musical "Taboo". Morton started acting in his local children's theatre, but since graduating from Mountview Conservatory for the Performing Arts, Euan has worked extensively in the UK and America. He was cast as Boy George in the West End musical Taboo which was so successful that Rosie O'Donnell took it to the United States where it enjoyed over 100 performances on Broadway. Morton received an Olivier Award nomination for the role of Boy George and also earned Tony, Drama Desk-, Outer Critics Circle- and Drama League Award nominations, as well as the Theatre World Award (for Outstanding Broadway Debut).
Off-Broadway, Euan appeared in the title role of Tony Kushner's adaptation of Brundibar at The New Victory Theatre, and won the 2006 Obie Award for his appearance in Measure For Pleasure at The Public Theater. He played the title role in the musical Caligula: An Ancient Glam Epic at the inaugural New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2004. Regionally, Euan played the title role in The Who's Tommy at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY. Recently, he appeared in the Roundabout Theatre Company's new off-Broadway play "Howard Katz" by Patrick Marber along with Alfred Molina.
In March 2006 released his debut solo album "NewClear", and has appeared in concert in New York City at Town Hall, The Zipper Theatre, Joe's Pub, Metropolitan Room and Birdland, as well as at The Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA.
