Does the Mask Stay On?
Briefly

Orville Peck expressed his excitement about making his Broadway debut, saying, 'I truly cannot believe I'm getting to make my Broadway debut in one of my favorite shows and in probably my favorite role in all of musical theater.' His experience in theater prior to music adds a profound layer to this milestone.
Peck reflected on his past as a performer, stating, 'I grew up in the theater. I did the hustle, and the struggle, for a long time, trying to make things happen for myself. But it taught me so much of who I am as a performer and a person.'
The article ponders the fate of Peck's anonymity in his new role, mentioning, 'While it might seem like the obvious answer is that he can't possibly wear the mask, if there was any role where he could, it might be this one.' The Emcee's character allows for a unique interpretation of Peck's performance.
