BIOGRAPHY

lovers. Josh’s professionalism
and dedication to creating full
bodied characters with depth has
afforded him a highly successful
career within the many disciplines
of theatre. Whether singing an
Italian aria in a Charles Mee play or
kicking his face through the highly

Mitchell, Josh Walden is a true
triple threat based in the traditions
of Stanislavski.

Monica, the Musical :
“...but it is Josh Walden who steals the show
with his earnest, wildly hilarious take on
Stephanopoulos.”
-Amy Krivohlavek, offoffonline.com
Funny Girl :
“Walden is a superior dancer and singer,
and even though his character complains
about the pace Fanny sets for herself, his
own energy seems endless and he gives an
electrifying performance.”
-Tom Woods, Auburn Pub
On the Town:
“Dark featured and squarely built, Walden
has the stolid forthrightness of a boy from
Smallville, Ind. But when he sings (an aching
``Lonely Town’’) or lets his long limbs swoon in
Cortez’s presence, his whole body seems to
sigh in tremulous resignation to his feelings.”
- Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
Josh was given the extraordinary experience of
working with Julie Andrews twice in a reading
of the musical adaptation of her children’s book,
Simeon’s Gift, directed by Tony-nominated director
Marcia Milgrom Dodge for Bay Street Theatre.
In the summer of 2011, Josh
originated the roles of Manita
Bryant, Gidde and Robert in the
world premiere of Tales of the
City at the American Conservatory
Theatre in San Francisco with Tony-
nominated director Jason Moore,
Tony-winning book writer Jeff
Whitty and members of the glam
rock band, The Scissor Sisters.
