His latest project, The Singing Revolution, is a musical that tells the story of an Estonian who falls in love with the daughter of a Soviet Commander. Set to an electrifying Europop score, The Singing Revolution is a love story inspired by the incredible events of the Estonian Revolution - where a nation sang its way to independence from Soviet rule. Tony Spinosa and James Bearhart’s soaring musical, directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, reminds us all that our voices united in harmony have the power to shape our future and change the world. After over a decade of occupation, Estonia has become resigned to its fate. But everything changes when a young local, Taavi, finds himself drawn to Sofia, the daughter of a Soviet commander. As time passes and sides are picked, Taavi inspires his fellow countrymen to rise up and demand freedom through the unifying power of song. But as revolt threatens to tear the lovers apart, can Taavi and Sofia's love survive?
Born in New York, Tony was mentored by theatre legend Michael Bennett and made his Broadway debut in Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby.
