While the role is a breakout moment for the 24-year-old actor and singer, he says he grappled with imposter syndrome during the audition process for the musical’s“I started coming up with every excuse as to why I wasn’t right for the part,” Bourzgui told HuffPost in an interview. “I was like, ‘I’m not old enough. I’m not a rock star. This is too high of a role, vocally, for me to sing.’ I started that week thinking, ‘I don’t know about this.
As for the acclaim he’s received thus far, he’s been keeping all of it “at a distance,” and would like theatergoers to focus on the broader, highly topical themes of “Tommy” beyond his singular performance. "The Who's Tommy," Bourzgui said, calls out the trend of"following people who you think have created a perfect life, and not understanding the trauma that might lie within their story."At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
