He was also part of the Elliot Norton Award-winning ensembles of Next to Normal and The Inheritance. Other favorite Boston credits include Evita, Alba, James and the Giant Peach, Willy Wonka, The Midwinter Revels, ChristmasTime, and many more. Ricky also serves as the True Colors Manager at The Theater Offensive. Special love to his partner, Ron—best friend, chef, barber, doctor, housekeeper, life coach, unofficial manager, travel agent, therapist, grocery shopper, snack provider, and all-around miracle worker.
