Dominic
Nolfi, grandson of Adrian Nolfi, was a recipient of the Peninsula
Italian American Social Club Scholarship award in 1996.
After
high school graduation he was awarded a full scholarship by the
Boston Conservatory of Music for four years, graduating in 2000.
During his undergraduate years he performed as a tenor soloist on
several occasions with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Shortly after
graduating, he was awarded the lead in a new musical, Pokemon Live,
opening in Radio Musical Hall, and touring the country for one year.
He moved on to the lead in Grease, performing for two years in Germany.
He returned to Los Angeles where he did bit parts in TV production
and TV commercials. In the summer of 2004 he appeared in a new musical,
based on the lives of Frankie Valli and his composer. The show closed
in January of 2005 and immediately a New York Producer bought the
rights to show it in New York City.
We
just learned yesterday that he is to report for rehearsals in June,
and the show will open on Broadway in August.
