Christopher Sieber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Sieber (born February 18, 1969 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an American actor and musical theatre performer.
Sieber studied acting and musical comedy at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. He made his Broadway debut as Agis in the musical Triumph of Love with Betty Buckley and F. Murray Abraham. Following his role in Triumph of Love he appeared as a replacement in the roles of Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Trevor Graydon in Thoroughly Modern Millie and Billy Flynn in Chicago. Sieber was also cast in the role of Rapunzel's Prince in the revival of Into the Woods in 2002.
In late 2004, Sieber originated the role of Sir Dennis Galahad in the Broadway musical, Monty Python's Spamalot which is an adaptation of the 1970s motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Spamalot premiered in March 2005 where Sieber sang a love duet with Sara Ramirez that spoofed the genre, The Song That Goes Like This. Sieber was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Male in a Musical in 2005. After leaving the cast in July 2006, he made his London debut in the same role in October 2006, before leaving early 2007.
Sieber's off-Broadway credits include The Boys in the Band (revival) and Avow. In Avow, Sieber and his partner have a confrontation with a Catholic priest over seeking same sex marriage in the Church. In addition to theatre, he has starred in two television series, Two of a Kind with the Olsen twins and It's All Relative with John Benjamin Hickey and Harriet Sansom Harris.
While It's All Relative was being produced, Sieber announced that he was gay and recognized his partner, actor Kevin Burrows.
Sieber is heavily involved in Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids (BC/EFA) and has appeared in several of its Broadway Bares revues, among other events the charity produces.
Sieber frequently attends theatre in New York, teaches master classes and enjoys riding his bike with his younger sister, Sierra. He moved to Lake Tamarack New Jersey not too long ago, and lives in the middle of the lake in a hut on an island.
