He went on to perform the role in London’s West End as well. He starred as Inspector Javert in the 2014 revival of “Les Miserables”, and played the conflicted drag queen Tick in “Priscilla: Queen of the Desert”, (Drama League Nomination). In “Waitress” Will performed opposite the show’s creator Sara Bareilles. Other Broadway: “Disaster!”, “Lestat”, “Brooklyn: The Musical”, and his sentimental favorite “110 in the Shade”: the production where he met his wife, actress Audra McDonald. Off-Broadway favorites include the recent revival of “Assassins”, “Nantucket Sleighride”, and “Jerry Springer: The Opera” for which he won an Obie Award. Will originated the role of Tom in “Murder Ballad”, and also created the role of Stacey Jaxx in the original Off-Broadway production of “Rock of Ages”. Other favorites include “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Adrift in Macao”, “Two Gentlemen of Verona”, and “Pericles”. Tours and Other: “Miss Saigon”, “We Will Rock You”, “Camelot” with the NY Philharmonic, “Pirates of Penzance”, “Moon for the Misbegotten” “The Royal Family of Broadway”.

Will spent a season on the Netflix series “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” as the evil Professor Carcosa. He played opposite his wife in the Covid/Zombie thriller series “The Bite”. He has guest starred on “Law & Order (SVU & CSI)”, “The Good Wife”, “No Tomorrow”, and “The Code.” He played Henry Donnenfeld on the Netflix crime drama series “Hit and Run”, and later this year will be seen as the father of the Vampire clan The Fairmont’s in the new Netflix drama “First Kill”. Some of Will’s earliest memories involve listening to his Dad’s 8 track copy of “Hot August Night”. Will can’t remember not having most of Neil Diamond’s songs permanently imprinted on his brain. And he’s super happy about that.
