In the up-and-coming musical production of Bye Bye Birdie this spring, Jacob Caracciolo will star as Albert Peterson! In the show, Albert is the owner of the record label Al-Mae-Lou Music which is the label that Conrad Birdie is signed onto.
We asked him a few questions about his musical journey and what he’s looking forward to most:
Blueprint: What is your role in the musical?
Jacob: Albert F. Peterson
Blueprint: Why did you choose to participate?
Jacob: I did Beauty and the Beast freshman year and had a great experience. Then, I also enjoyed Grease, so now I’m here!
Blueprint: What is your favorite thing about being in the musical?
Jacob: I love when we get to the point where we get to run the show over and over and prepare for an audience. Also, the friends you make are a huge plus.
Blueprint: Have you participated in previous musicals before?
Jacob: Yes, Beauty and the Beast and Grease.
Blueprint: What can the audience expect from this performance of Bye Bye Birdie?
Jacob: A jaw dropping, outstanding, edge of seat onning, best show of the decade performance.
Blueprint: Did you know about Bye Bye Birdie before the musical was decided upon?
Jacob: NO.
Blueprint: Who do you think the audience’s favorite character will be and why?
Jacob: Definitely Hugo Peabody because it’s a funny part played by a humorous person, Collin Mathews.
Blueprint: Give us your best pitch on why people should come see the musical.
Jacob: The real question is why not? (Come support the people who work very hard and long to put the show together!)
Congratulations Jacob! We can’t wait to see the production!
