Jon Viktor Corpuz first moved to New York City after having been cast in the Godspell Cast of 2032 as mini-Telly Leung, where he got to perform in Godspell on Broadway for one night only! Since then, he has racked up his share of professional credits around the city. Notable credits include: Julie Taymor’s production (and film) of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Theater for a New Audience, which marked Taymor’s NYC directorial comeback after Spiderman and the inaugural production of the Polonsky Shakespeare Center – TFANA’s new home in Brooklyn. Starring as Patrick in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall, and currently Prince Chulalongkorn in the 2015 Tony Award winning Broadway revival of Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s The King & I, directed by Bartlett Sher, where both he and the show are getting rave reviews!
