RTG’s Musical Production Features Law & Order Star

LOCAL MUSICAL PRODUCTION FEATURES LAW & ORDER STAR

 Actor, Danny Pino, Miami native and star of NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, plays the Book Voice in The Roxy Theatre Group’s (RTG) musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, through an extraordinary voice over. RTG’s cast and orchestra of 70 students, ages 12-22, are honored to have the accomplished actor as a guest-artist within their ensemble.  RTG is a non-profit arts organization for children and youth.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Pino is a long-time supporter of RTG and has served on the program’s Advisory Board since inception. The Cuban-American actor has provided several workshops for the organization’s students. A Florida International University Alumnus, Pino’s television and film credits include Burn Notice, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, New York, Flicka and Andy Garcia’s The Lost City.

“Roxy is a place where an interest in theater, dance and music becomes a study and a study becomes a skill.  At a time when arts programs are being de-funded, Roxy is more rare and essential to the creative youth in our community. I had a fantastic time recording the voiceover for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, especially knowing I could collaborate with the talented and committed young artists in my hometown.  I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this production and hope that our community further realizes the importance of cultivating creativity and encouraging self expression in all forms. To the students at Roxy:  Dream big, prepare, and ‘Break a leg!,’ said Danny Pino, playing the Book Voice in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.  Currently, playing Detective Nick Amaro on NBC’s hit series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, he is also well-known for his seven seasons as Detective Scotty Valens on CBS’s Cold Case.
