Justin Guarini

As American Idol's Season One runner-up (he placed second to winner Kelly Clarkson) Justin Guarini's career began with greater national recognition than he could have dreamed possible. Last year, his career took a new direction when he starred back-to-back in two Broadway musicals: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and American Idiot.

His latest project is to star in a fascinating and "chilling" new musical called The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County working with an incredible line-up of masterminds: music and lyrics by John Mellencamp, book by Stephen King and musical direction by T Bone Burnett.

In anticipation for his March 2 concert, Landmark on Main Street is pleased to offer a Master Class with Justin Guarini on Wednesday, January 25. This Master Class enables students of music and theater to hear Justin speak about his career and choices, ask questions and even sing a song or two together. Call the box office for details and registration for the Master Class: 516-767-6444.
