Mr. Burgos recently appeared as the title

just to name a few. With the Harmony
Theatre Company, Mr. Burgos has

"Daniel Beauxhomme" in Once on This
Island, and he has originated the roles of
"David Romero" in Beware: Bernadette! A
Musical Fable and "Mikey de los Reyes"
in Richmond: A Musical Fantasia. “I’m so
happy to be back with the gang. It’s
always good to be in an environment
that is professional and fun and at the
same time, a place were you can feel at
home. Special thanks to Ben Cohn and
Yvonne Gutierrez for giving me the
tools and the confidence that got me
into this production. As always and
forever, thank you to my mother for her
continued love and support, and to my
family and friends for coming out,
supporting and also believing in me,
and to Ismael, my best critic. I love you
all.”
