Tony Award-nominee Robert Westenberg was my guest in The Locher Room to look back at his lengthy career that included work on and Off-Broadway, in regional theatres, national tours, film and television. He made his Broadway debut 41 years ago in Zorba, for which he received a Theatre World Award.

Robert is now focusing his career on teaching, directing and playwriting. He is perhaps best remembered for his roles in the original Broadway casts of Into the Woods as the Wolf and Prince, for which he received a Tony nomination and Drama Desk Award, Secret Garden as Neville Craven, and Sunday in the Park with George, where he replaced Mandy Patinkin in the title role. He also performed the role of Javert in the Broadway production of Les Miserables. Other Broadway credits include leading roles in 1776, Company, Abe Lincoln in Illinois, and A Christmas Carol. Robert’s film and television credits include The Ice Storm, Before and After, The Stars Fell on Henrietta, Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, Swift Justice, Central Park West, and Law and Order: SVU.
