biography
Two weeks after his 1980 arrival in NYC, Terrence Mann landed his first Broadway play, "Barnum", thanks to his ability to juggle and ride a unicycle, and has seldom been far from the Great White Way since. He donned fur for his next outing as Rum Tum Tugger, the Jaggeresque rock'n'roll feline of "Cats" (1982), and showed his true penchant for villainy as the fearsome Javert in "Les Miserables" (1987), garnering his first Tony nomination as Actor in a Musical. Perhaps his greatest triumph came as the Beast in "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" (1994), which brought him a second Tony nod as Actor

Worked as a dancer and technician (had been a lighting major at one point in his college career) at The Lost Colony amphitheater in North Carolina (located within the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site)
Spent two years with the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival in Chapel Hill
1980
Moved to NYC and within three weeks landed a spot in the ensemble of "Barnum", his Broadway debut, thanks to his ability to juggle and ride a unicycle; eventually played title role at matinee performances
