Reichard stated, “New York City is blessed with an abundance of gifted people, several of whom I know well, others whom I've known casually over the years, and many of whom I have never met, but admired from afar. That's what this show is about--celebrating the great times we can all have when we get together on any given night in the Big Apple. This evening will be a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Reichard followed Jersey Boys with a critically acclaimed performance as Candide in Leonard Bernstein’s Candide at the New York City Opera. He made his New York City debut in Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Celebration and also played Keith Haring in Radiant Baby at Joe Papp’s Public Theater. Reichard is currently touring concert halls across North America with fellow Jersey Boys alumnae in the successful vocal group The Midtown Men.
