Nick McKinnon, a transplant to the Bay State from Maine, moved to Massachusetts to attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute. SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR!!! marks his return to Moonstruck Theater Company, having participated in their production of Urinetown: The Musical three years ago and most recently in Little Shop of Horrors last fall. A theater orchestra musician since the age of 12, McKinnon was very familiar with many of the songs before auditioning. “This show focuses on some of the top songs from many great productions. Everyone, even those less familiar with theater, will recognize and enjoy their favorites throughout the event!” Off-stage, Nick is an electrical engineer that frequently travels around the world for his company. Free-time adventures consist of rock climbing and going on as many destination vacations as possible with friends.
The show is directed by Matthew Sherman and music directed by Samantha Prindiville. The production will be presented at Amazing Things Art Center, Framingham, MA.
