Curtis made his Broadway debut in Rent after touring the U.S., Canada, and Japan with the 2nd national tour of Rent. Other theatre roles include Grease (Doody) in Europe and at the American Music Theatre of San Jose, Anything Goes (Billy), The Secret Garden (Dickon), The Who's Tommy (Pinball Lad). Curtis was raised in Michigan, attending Interlochen Arts Academy and CCM, and now lives in New York City. When not onstage he enjoys traveling as much as his bank account will allow. Most recently he hiked volcanic peaks in Hawaii, explored caves through New Zealand and sailed off the coast of Australia. Curtis' favorite pastime in NYC is dodging cabbies and pedestrians on his roller blades.
