Martin Burke
For a dozen Decembers, Martin Burke donned the gay apparel of Crumpet, the Macy's elf in The Santaland Diaires, and filled us with Christmas cheer. But Burke is more than a pair of candy-cane tights, as proven by his hilarious and heartbreaking performances in The Laramie Project, The Drowsy Chaperone, Angels in America, Twelfth Night, Take Me Out, Shakespeare's R&J, and, most recently, Harvey and Design for Living. He's retired Crumpet's pointy slippers, but we're eager to see him establish a new holiday tradition this year portraying all the citizens in Bedford Falls in the one-man show This Wonderful Life.
