McKnight, who is a former Canadian Tenor, is excited to be back on The Grand’s main stage. “A memorable experience is defined by the company I’m in. So I’m really looking forward to being in rehearsal with all the extraordinary people who work at The Grand,” he says.
McKnight notes that audience members may see some similarities between the characters of Joseph and his character Claude in Hair. “They share the same bounding youth and utter innocence,” he explains. ”Claude is a character lost in the complex conflict of not knowing what is right, with a crushing desire to seek self-worth. Hopefully Grand patrons will see distinctness and alikeness in my interpretation of Claude and my interpretation of Joseph.”
