Stage favorite Telly Leung, who ended his run in the title role of Broadway's Aladdin in February, has released several dance remixes of the Billy Joel anthem "New York State of Mind."
New York State of Mind: The Remixes —Telly Leung + DRWM isavailable for download on iTunes and to stream on Spotify/Apple Music.
"This Billy Joel classic is a song that means a lot to me as a native New Yorker, and it is especially meaningful to me as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall and World Pride in NYC this June," Leung states. "I wanted to create a dance anthem to celebrate my hometown—a place that embodies the diversity and inclusiveness of Pride."
Leung's other Broadway credits include the new musicals In Transit and Allegiance, the revivals of Flower Drum Song and Pacific Overtures, and the final Broadway company of Rent. He originated the role of Boq in the Chicago production of Wicked and played Dalton Academy Warbler Wes on Fox’s Glee.
