Recording Artist LEVI KREIS has been nominated for a Tony Award. Kreis is celebrating his nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his role as Jerry Lee Lewis in Broadway's "Million Dollar Quartet."
"I'm humbled...and so relieved after years of us all working so hard to bring this magical night to life, to receive the recognition of such a prestigious community. I'm so proud of all of us", said Levi reacting to the news from his NYC apartment today.
Levi originated the role as Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet two years before its Broadway opening.
He says, "It's been a wonderful opportunity to grow and be inspired daily by a community of amazingly talented people."
Levi is also celebrating his journey through the music industry as a well-known, full time touring independent recording artist. His video "Nothing At All" just recently hit #1 spot on MTV Music Online and on LOGO TV's The Click List. "Nothing At All" was directed by Davidson Cole and is one emotional shot of Kreis singing with "memory" clips appearing throughout from a once happy relationship. This accomplishment is a direct result of Kreis' fans showing up and showing their own support for an artist they truly believe in.
