Tony winner Santino Fontana will make his San Francisco concert debut at the Venetian Room of the Fairmont Hotel May 10.
The Tootsie star steps the previously announced Stephanie J. Block; the fellow 2019 Tony winner had to postpone due to an unforeseen conflict. Tickets purchased for Block's show will be honored at Fontana’s concert.
Prior to playing Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway, Fontana earned a Tony nomination for playing Topher in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. On television, he starred as Greg in Rachel Bloom’s musical comedy series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Other stage credits include Hello, Dolly! opposite Bernadette Peters, Act One, The Importance of Being Earnest, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Sunday in the Park with George, and Sons of the Prophet. He can also be heard as Hans in Disney's animated blockbuster Frozen.
