Two of Bucks County’s rising stars are now tearing up the boards on Broadway, and the Bucks County Symphony has snared them both to be our special Pops guest performers! CB West grad Jenny Lee Stern is currently appearing in “Rocky," and CB East grad Justin Guarini is in the hit-musical “Wicked.” Join us for an evening of Broadway melodies, and help us celebrate the success of two very special home-grown talents!
Justin Guarini
A native of Georgia, Justin Guarini has called Doylestown his home since 1990, and graduated from Central Bucks High School East in 1997. He studied theater and vocal performance at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and attended the School for Film and Television in New York.
Justin achieved national recognition as a finalist in the first American Idol competition in 2002. Although he declined a role in the Broadway production ofThe Lion King to participate in the premier season of American Idol, Justin has recently been a featured performer in several Broadway shows, including Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown(Carlos), American Idiot (Will), and Romeo and Juliet (Paris). He is currently starring as Fiyero in the Gershwin Theatre’s production of Wicked.
Justin has also appeared in numerous regional theater performances, notably Rent (Roger), Chicago(Billy Flynn), Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph), and the world premiere production of Stephen King and John Mellancamp’s new musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County (Drake). He has appeared as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and as a guest host on Live With Regis and Kelly, and for several years was a host on the TV Guide Network. Justin’s TV credits include Run Of The House(Fox) and Wizards of Waverly Place (Disney). He has produced two solo albums: Justin Guarini, andStranger Things Have Happened, and recently made his debut at a New York cabaret and restaurant, 54 Below, performing in Lovesick, a show he had created for a February 2014 performance at the Bucks County Playhouse.
Justin, a strong advocate of music in public schools, has served as a national spokes-person in support of music education programs. He has also participated in numerous charity fundraisers for Habitat For Humanity, Rockers On Broadway, and various children’s hospitals across the country.
Justin and his wife, Reina, live in Doylestown with their three children, Lola, William and Asher.
