ESACK GRUESKIN (Curly). This was Esack’s first year performing at The Shedd, and he’s ecstatic to wrap up the season with a classic amongst classics, Oklahoma! He’d like to thank The Shedd for the incredible opportunity. Favorite past roles include Jesus (Jesus Christ Superstar, back in Iowa), Jekyll/Hyde (Jekyll & Hyde, Very Little Theatre), and Jamie Wellerstein (The Last Five Years, Pegasus Playhouse). He especially wants to thank his friends, family, his beautiful and talented wife, Lexy, and their three fluffy felines, Gnocchi, Hobgoblin, and Bonk, for all their love and support.
