Ep. 32: A Chat with Robert Cuccioli

In this special episode of PARDO'S TURN, I break form and just sit down and chat with Broadway veteran, Robert Cuccioli. Best known for his Tony nominated turn as JEKYLL & HYDE, we discuss how that iconic role has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for him. We also talk about the unlikely beginning to his career, keeping his performances fresh, his 2012 solo album, various regional theatres, and a few projects that he's had the opportunity to revisit.
