Erik Liberman's remarkable career has been praised by critics as "multifaceted, irreducible, and astonishing" and "a showcase of sheer star power."
He is best known for originating iconic roles on and off Broadway, including The Telephone Guy in the Tony Award-winning musical "The Band's Visit," opposite Tony winners Tony Shalhoub and Katrina Lenk; Revlon founder Charles Revson in "War Paint," directed by Michael Greif; Clopin Trouillefou, King of the Gypsies, in Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"; and in Harold Prince's last original musical on Broadway, "LoveMusik," with Tony winners Donna Murphy and Michael Cerveris.
Liberman has also played leading roles in major revivals, including Motel the Tailor in "Fiddler on the Roof," opposite Tony winner Harvey Fierstein and Topol, the Golden Globe-winning star of the film. He was reviewed as "the best Motel I have ever seen, anywhere," prompting Hal Prince to recommend him for his first directing job, helming the 50th anniversary "Fiddler" celebration at New York's Town Hall with an all-star cast.
Additional revivals include a 25th anniversary production of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods," opposite original "Little Red," Danielle Ferland, and "Merrily We Roll Along," Carol Burnett's "Hollywood Arms," and The Who's "Tommy."
