Felix was one of over a hundred aspiring performers at the
open call audition for AVENUE Q in February. Directors Bobby
Garcia and Chari Arespacochaga called him back several times
before offering him the role. Garcia says, “It’s
a really crucial role in the show and we had to really make
sure we were casting correctly. So we called him back about
3 times in the same day!” Chari Arespacochaga has worked
with him before on HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
Felix is thrilled to be a part of the cast of AVENUE Q.
He says, “The music and the theme are very light but
the issues they discuss are very real. I guess in a way, it
tells us that even in our small little “happy”
lives, there is “real” stuff that we have to take
into consideration.”
He will take part in intensive puppetry workshops before
beginning rehearsals for the musical.
