  • Duncan Putney

    Todd Gordon is an excellent voice teacher. He also is musical director at the New Rep in Watertown.
  • Duncan Putney

    Todd has coached Bway and Nat Tour leads as well as many locals. His studio is in the Stienway Building in Boston. Tell him Duncan says hi. I don't have his phone number on me.
  • Duncan Putney

    Very happy to hear that you and Todd hit it off. I think you'll get a lot out of him as a voice teacher. Maybe we'll see you on the stage at New Rep as well. Happy holidays.

    Hi Merissa!  A pleasure to be your friend here.  Very nice resume!

    Beware of Todd Gordon - He HATES Sondheim! (Very good MD, but how does a MD in musical theatre hate Sondheim??)  :-)

    Congrats on the informercial for Shotgun.  I recently submitted myself and got a query for my availability.  Waiting to hear back.  Let us know how it goes?

    Happy Christmahanukwanzikathesitic Holidays!
