Josh Dela Cruz, whose N.Y. stage credits include ''Aladdin'' and ''Here Lies Love,'' is starring in ''Blues' Big City Adventure,'' now streaming on Paramount Plus. Josh, star of the Nickelodeon kids' show, brings his animated pal, Blue, to the Big Apple as he auditions for Broadway.
Along the way, the new movie-musical features Phillipa Soo, Steven Pasquale and Tony winners Ali Stroker and B.D. Wong.
Wong's participation was so meaningful. Dela Cruz says seeing Wong and Lea Salonga showed him there was room for Asians in theater.
Dela Cruz has made history himself as the first Asian-American Pacific Islander to host a major children's TV series. |
