Joshua Henry, B.M. ’06, earned his second Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his performance as "Flick" in his return to Broadway this spring in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Violet opposite Sutton Foster. The role also earned him nominations for Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. His turn as Haywood Patterson in The Scottsboro Boys earned Henry his first Tony Award nomination in 2011. Henry first played the role of "Flick" in a production of Violet at the University of Miami at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, directed by the original Off-Broadway "Flick," Michael McElroy.
