Michael Vento
as Gabriel John Utterson
joined the musical during his freshman year when he played Monsieur D’Arque in Beauty and the Beast. Sophomore year, he portrayed Monsieur Thenardier in one of his favorite musicals of all time: Les Miserables. Junior year, he played Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, and he is very excited to finish his four years on the stage as Mr. Utterson, an unproblematic role in comparison to the others. Michael wants to thank Johnny Cagno for being extremely fierce and fabulous, Mrs. Boisclair for being considerably energetic and entertaining (even in the most trying times), Mrs. Taggart for always giving him exciting and sensational choreography, and Mrs. Caiazza for embodying every single inner thought he’s ever had. Michael is leaving the country for college to attend the University of British Columbia. He is very sad that he will be leaving everyone who has impacted him in the most wonderful ways. He wishes everybody in the cast and crew the best of luck!
