The performer was recognized for his work in the new musical “Paradise Square.” The nominee’s character Owen gets to shine the most during extended dance sequences, though Shively says he “did not grow up dancing.” He admits that he’s still coming to terms with the massive amount of choreography he performs in the show, so the Tony recognition is “that much more special.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Drabinsky set during the history-making New York Draft Riots of the 1860s, will arrive at the Barrymore Theatre in February with several news songs added since its 2019 West Coast incarnation, including an anthemic new musical number that can’t help but summon thoughts of the galvanizing response to recent racial discord: The new number is called “Breathe Easy.”
