Nic Rouleau (Elder Price)
Age 25
Hometown Mountain View, California
Known for Making his Broadway debut as Elder Price in June
Rouleau stepped up to the Broadway lead after serving as standby for the original cast’s Andrew Rannells (who’s now starring in the NBC sitcom The New Normal). “I was there at the theater every night, ready to go on at a moment’s notice just in case,” Rouleau says. “I watched the show probably 200 times.” He got his start in theater at age nine, playing a Lost Boy in a community-theater production of Peter Pan. “I had no experience before, and my family really knew nothing about theater,” Rouleau says. “I definitely come from a very athletic family, so I was the odd man out for a while.” He moved cross-country to study at New York University’s Steinhardt School. “It was a pretty big move to New York City, but it was the right choice to study music,” he says, before breaking into a laugh. “It worked out, I think.”
