"Thailand Sea" is now available to download for free by joining the mailing list! This song was written by Tom Wopat, and can be found on his new album CONSIDER IT SWUNG. As Tom explains "A few years ago I was filming a movie in Thailand, and the production put me up in a gorgeous hotel overlooking the sea. During my free time, I used to sit and look at at the ocean, and the view was just exquisite. The local folks there use to get around on what were called "longboards"- about 20 foot boats with a car engine strapped to them, and they maneuvered with a long prop that extended into the ocean. Sitting there and seeing this completely different way of life in such an outrageously beautiful setting became the basis for writing "Thailand Sea."
Tom Wopat will be headlining the Summer Broadway Festival this Monday 7/11 at Town Hall in NYC! The first show will be featuring "Broadway Winners: The Award-Winning Music of Broadway!" - as the festival creator Scott Siegel explains "We're doing something a little bit different with 'The Award-Winning Music of Broadway!' and it dovetails with the second show," Siegel says. "For the first time, I'm bringing a small cadre of previous 'Broadway's Rising Stars,' some of whom came right out of performing arts schools, and they're professionals whose careers are burgeoning. I wanted to feature some of them in this show because they've earned the right to be on the same stage with Tom Wopat."
Tom is coming to the west coast! He will be performing two nights only with Broadway star Linda Eder in San Diego, CA on 10/29 and Northridge, CA on 10/30. Go to the events page for all the details!

Tom appears on the T.V. show “Medium”
Tom will be appearing in an episode of the T.V. show "Medium.” His episode is set to air on CBS on October 15th 2010.
Here is a brief description of the episode; “Allison and Scanlon continue on the outs, but their separate efforts to solve a girl’s murder may lead them into terrible danger — and a touching reconciliation…”
June 2th Main Street: Tom is in this year’s film, “Main Street”, along side Orlando Bloom, Ellen Burstyn and Colin Firth, based on the play by the great Horton Foote. Tom had the pleasure of working under the direction of John Doyle again, who also directed him in Broadway’s 2007 “A Catered Affair”. A 2010 release date to be announced very soon. Check back here for details.
Jonah Hex: Appearing with Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Megan Fox in the upcoming Warner Bros. Entertainment film, “Jonah Hex”, coming in June of 2010.
Sondheim on Sondheim: Tom is currently on Broadway with Barbara Cook and Vanessa Williams at Studio 54 in “Sondheim on Sondheim”, now through June 27th, 2010. Click here for details.
The L.A. Times, Culture Monster says, “…Wopat demonstrates precisely what Sondheim means when he says that “Epiphany” from “Sweeney Todd,” with its abrupt shifts in mood, allows you to witness “a man’s mind crack.”
The Wall Street Journal says, “Any show in which Ms. Cook sings “Loving You,” “Take Me to the World” and “Send in the Clowns” is by definition worth seeing, and some of the other performances, especially Mr. Wopat’s “Epiphany” and Leslie Kritzer’s “Now You Know,” are powerfully moving.”
The Catch Me If You Can Original Broadway Cast Recording was released this week!
