Seth’s master classes help his Broadway guests get their audition songs into top shape! And our passengers tell us they’re fun and informative even for those who simply choose to watch!

SING WITH THE STARS

Every Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Vacation features a final variety show with all the stars performing—solos, duets, trios—including some songs they’ve never performed anywhere else. Plus, for the entire duration of the cruise, Seth’s passengers rehearse so they can join the stars in our final concert. Yes! You could be singing alongside Tony Award winners!

She has also won numerous Fred Astaire Awards for her roles in Pippin (Fastrada), Sweet Charity (Charity), and Damn Yankees (Lola).  Most recently, she has been seen in the role of Roxie in Chicago, that has earned her the LA Ovation Award, the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award.  Charlotte has also appeared in the Broadway casts of Company, Contact, Carrie, and Song and Dance.  

Throughout her career onstage, she has worked alongside several legendary directors including, Jerome Robbins, Michael Bennett, Peter Martins, Rob Marshall, Ann Reinking, Debbie Allen, Gillian Lynn, Rob Ashford, Diane Paulus, Walter Bobbie, Scott Ellis, and George Balanchine.

Her film credits include The In Crowd (1988), American Blue Note (1989), Just Off the Coast (1992), and The Preacher’s Wife (1996). She appears as herself in Every Little Step (2008), a documentary about the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. In 2012, she co-starred in Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach.

Charlotte is the Co-Artistic director, with her husband Terrence Mann, of Triple Arts, a musical theater summer intensive for young artists.

Terrence Mann

Throughout a multi-decade career, Emmy Nominee and three-time Tony Award Nominee, Terrence Mann, has established himself as one of the most sought after leading men in the industry.

Mann can be seen opposite Jared Harris and Lee Pace in the upcoming Apple TV+ series “Foundation,” a compelling futuristic epic saga based on Issac Asimov’s award-winning novel of the same name. Executive Produced by David S. Goyer, Mann plays ‘Brother Dusk,’ the eldest member of the ruling dynasty being forced to reckon with the reality of losing his legacy.

He was recently seen as ‘Whispers’ in the hit Netflix series “Sense8,” though horror fans know him as ‘Ug,’ the interstellar bounty hunter in all four “Critters” movies.

Additional film and television credits include “A Chorus Line” “Big Top Pee Wee,” “Solar Babies,” “SMASH,” “30 Rock,” “Love Monkey,” “Law & Order,” “Mrs. Santa Claus,” “American Revolution,” and “One Life to Live,” as well as his memorable roles as ‘Bob’ in Sci-Fi’s, “The Dresden Files” and ‘Jester’ in “As the World Turns,” for which he received an Emmy Nomination.

Onstage, Mann has originated some of the most iconic roles in recent theatrical history: from the Rock ‘n Roll ‘Rum Tum Tugger’ in “CATS,” ‘Leon Czolgosz’ in Stephen Sondheim’s Assasins,” ‘Chauvelin’ in “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” to his critically acclaimed Tony Award nominated turns as ‘Inspector Javert’ in “Les Misérables” and the ‘Beast’ in “Beauty and The Beast,” the latter of which garnered him Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations.

In 2013, he received his third Tony Award nomination and won the Outer Critics Circle award for his dynamic portrayal as ‘King Charlemagne’ in the Tony Award-winning revival of “Pippin.

Mann’s additional Broadway credits include “Finding Neverland” (‘Charles Frohman/Hook’), “Tuck Everlasting” (‘Man in the Yellow Suit’), “The Addams Family” (‘Mal Bienekie’), “Lennon” (‘Lennon and Others’), “The Rocky Horror Show” (‘Frank ‘N’ Furter’), “Getting Away With Murder” (‘Greg’), “A Christmas Carol” (‘Scrooge’), “Rags” (‘Saul’), “Barnum” (‘Ringmaster, matinee Barnum on tour’), “Jerome Robbin’s Broadway” (‘Narrator’) and the pre-Broadway workshop of “Jekyll and Hyde” (title roles).

Off-Broadway, he was most recently seen onstage as ‘Jerry Springer’ in The New Group’s New York premiere of “Jerry Springer: The Opera” at the Signature Theatre, which garnered him a Lucille Lortel Nomination and in “Promises, Promises” at New York City Center’s ENCORES!

His regional acting credits include the 5th Avenue Theatre’s Broadway-bound “Little Dancer” as ‘Degas,’ “Tuck Everlasting” (the Alliance Theatre), and “The Studio” (South Coast Repertory). As a director and composer, Mann made his debut with the musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet,” which premiered at the Ordway Center for The Performing Arts.

Mann was the founding Artistic Director of the Carolina Arts Festival and also served as Artistic Director of the North Carolina Theatre for 10 years. He previously served as the endowed chair of Musical Theatre at Western Carolina University and was Artistic Director of the Connecticut repertory theaters Nutmeg Summer Theater Festival. He and his wife, Charlotte d’Amboise, are currently the Co-artistic Directors of the Triple Arts Musical Theatre intensive for young performers at Western Carolina University.

Throughout her career onstage, she has worked alongside several legendary directors including, Jerome Robbins, Michael Bennett, Peter Martins, Rob Marshall, Ann Reinking, Debbie Allen, Gillian Lynn, Rob Ashford, Diane Paulus, Walter Bobbie, Scott Ellis, and George Balanchine.

Her film credits include The In Crowd (1988), American Blue Note (1989), Just Off the Coast (1992), and The Preacher’s Wife (1996). She appears as herself in Every Little Step (2008), a documentary about the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. In 2012, she co-starred in Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach.
