Mark Consuelos' Broadway Debut: A Riverdale Star's Angelic Performance

0:00It's April 21st, entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now, AI-powered and spotlight-ready. I'm Corey with The Story. Mark Consuelos just hit the Broadway stage for the first time in fallen angels, opening on April 19th. The 40-something actor from Riverdale stars alongside some heavy hitters, and the show's already turning heads in New York theater circles. Earlier this week on April 20th, he joined his wife Kelly Riepa on their live show, where she hyped his debut like a true fan. Mark opened up about the nerves of opening night, saying it felt different from his past shorter plays. He'd rehearsed the thing 20 to 30 times. By then, so her leaf kicked in once the curtain rose. Fans and critics are loving it, with rave nods from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Guardian. Kelly couldn't stop gushing over the leading ladies. Rose Byrne, Kelly O'Hara, and Tracey Shimo calling their work extraordinary while putting Mark. Right in the mix as the perfect addition. The real talk came on his French accent for the role, which scared him more than going naked on stage.
