A native of Scotland, born in 1977, Euan Morton, after graduating from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London, spent many years working in various aspects of the acting craft, from profit-share theater to film and television. In 2002, he originated the role of Boy George in the West End musical Taboo, a semi-autobiographical show depicting the 1980s’ New Romantic movement. This performance earned him nominations for the Whatsonstage Award and the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. He then moved to New York in 2003 to reprise the role on Broadway and won a Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut on a New York City stage. He also garnered Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League Award nominations. On film, Mr. Morton can be seen in the documentary ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway, a chronicle of the 2003-2004 Broadway season (including Taboo) and is now available on DVD.

Recently, Mr. Morton received rave reviews for playing the title role of Tony Kushner’s adaptation of Brundibár at the New Victory Theatre, and won a 2006 Obie Award for his lead performance in Measure for Pleasure at the Public Theater. His other New York theatrical credits include the title role in Caligula: An Ancient Glam Epic for the inaugural season of the New York Musical Theatre Festival – where he was the recipient of the 2004 NYMF Best Actor Award – as well as the role of Lignière in the 2007 Broadway revival of Cyrano De Bergerac. Off Broadway, he has appeared opposite Alfred Molina in Howard Katz at the Roundabout Theatre. Most recently, he was featured in the musical revue Sondheim on Sondheim, conceived and directed by James Lapine.
