Wicked alum and current Scotland, PA star Ryan McCartan is the newest Broadway performer to tackle a Rodgers and Hammerstein song with a pop twist. The stage and Disney Channel favorite sings “This Nearly Was Mine” from South Pacific in a music video for the R&H Goes Pop series.
McCartan, who currently stars as Mac in the musical Scotland, PA (a fast food-fueled take on Macbeth) Off-Broadway, played Fiyero in Wicked last year. Other credits include Brad in Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show and J.D. in the original Off-Broadway production of Heathers: The Musical alongside current Mean Girls star Barrett Wilbert Weed.
