Todd Almond

Todd Almond is an acclaimed performer, songwriter, and playwright whose huge 2024 Edinburgh Fringe sold out hit show I’m Almost There transferred to Audible’s Minetta Theatre in New York.  His performance on Broadway in Girl from the North Country was called “stunning” by The Washington Post, and “roof-raising, uplifting, and invigorating” by Hollywood Reporter. Almond co-wrote the songs for and music-directed Audible’s hit comedy Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares. His musical adaptation of The Odyssey at Shakespeare in the Park’s Delacorte Theatre in Central Park was hailed as “brash, funny and heart-stirring” by The New York Times. Todd recently toured the U.S. in his original musical Kansas City Choir Boy (“awesome, slyly punk rock” by Rolling Stone) co-starring with rock icon Courtney Love, and he starred in three of his original musicals at the famed Delacorte Theatre in Central Park (The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale, and The Odyssey). His musical Girlfriend, based on the Matthew Sweet album of the same title is a perennial favourite for theatre companies around the US and Japan, and he is currently collaborating with producer David Foster on a new, original musical. He has previously collaborated with Sarah Ruhl (Melancholy Play: A Chamber Musical), Jenny Schwartz (Iowa), Laura Benanti (In Constant Search for the Right Kind of Attention), Sherie Rene Scott (Piece of Meat); Kelli O’Hara (“Live at Carnegie Hall”), and Andrew Rannells (“Live from Lincoln Center”). As a composer and orchestrator, Almond has written and arranged music for Noises Off on Broadway, Iowa at Playwrights Horizons, F*cking A at Signature Theatre, and How to Transcend a Happy Marriage at Lincoln Center Theatre, and the recent film adaptation of Michael John LaChiusa’s Hello Again. Other New York acting credits include Stage Kiss by Sarah Ruhl at Playwrights Horizons, People Are Wrong at the Vineyard, and Law and Order: SVU. Todd can also be seen co-starring in the Gossip Girl reboot on HBO Max.
