2016 release. Having conquered Broadway with a string of acclaimed roles - from Gypsy to White Christmas to On the Town - triple-threat Tony Yazbeck sets his sights on reinventing the solo album with his new studio recording, The Floor Above Me, adapted and expanded from his one-man show. Blending song, dance and personal narrative, Yazbeck breathes new life into not only the time-honored tale of the Broadway dreamer but the solo album as well, with ecstatic tap dancing and a moving story that deepens the emotional impact of Yazbeck's carefully curated program. Yazbeck, whose "easy, warm, open-hearted and touchingly real performance" as Gabey in the 2014 Broadway revival of On the Town "provided the show with a firm emotional center" (The New York Times), brings his openness, charm and boundless energy to his own story as a hardworking kid growing up in Pennsylvania who dreamed of making it on Broadway - and did.
