Albert Guerzon: Actor, Singer, Dancer, and Songwriter
This was Albert Guerzon's website from around 2006 when his theatrical agent was Corey Smith through 2014. The content below is from the site's archived pages. Today you can follow Albert Guerzon on Twitter or Instagram under alguerzon.
Enjoy looking back at the earlier years of Albert Guerzon's career. I expect to see more great things from this exceptionally talented man.
So buckle your seatbelts and take a wiz ride back......
Albert Guerzon is an actor, singer, dancer, and songwriter who’s always looking for some new artistic creative stimuli. He made his Broadway debut playing Eddie in Mama Mia! Other favorite credits include Ghost the musical on Broadway, Mamma Mia (the national tour), and The Times They Are A-Changin’ choreographed and directed by the dance legend Twyla Tharp to name a few. He is currently rehearsing for the Broadway”s Honeymoon in Vegas. As a dancer and choreographer he has worked on projects featuring Snoop Dogg and Ludacris as well as NY Fashion week.
As a singer he has performed his original music around NYC in venues like the Cutting Room, Rockwood Music Hall, and Crash Mansion. He released his self-titled debut EP last year which is available on iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. Albert grew up listening to a mix of Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. He is compared to artists like Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke. “I’m constantly looking for new ways to create some sort of visual or performance art to release and share the best energy out of me.”
"I've been a fan of Albert Guerzon since I saw him in Mama Mia and since then I've been trying to locate all his posts since being invited to submit my résumé. I'm absolutely thrilled to come across this opportunity to potentially join the team working on Albert's new website. As a longtime fan and a seasoned web developer, this feels like a dream come true!
My background includes working on several high-profile website projects for performers, such as Jan Hilton's Rock Out Loud and Steve Wilson's Hard Rock Sculpture Review. Additionally, I spearheaded the Ticket Maestro data scraping project, leading the modernization effort from outdated FoxPro software to a more seamless integration with modern applications utilizing Angular and Prerender. This project was a major success, bridging the gap between legacy systems and contemporary web technologies and advocating for a FoxPro alternative was a necessity.
Albert, your journey from Broadway stages to music venues across NYC is incredibly inspiring. I've been following your career from your debut in "Mamma Mia!" to your performances at the Cutting Room and Rockwood Music Hall. Your passion for continuous artistic growth resonates with my own drive to create innovative web solutions that enhance visibility and functionality.
My vision for your new website is to craft a dynamic platform that not only showcases your diverse talents but also provides an engaging and interactive experience for your fans. I am confident that my expertise in web development and my passion for your work will help bring your online presence to new heights.
I'm ready to rock and roll with this project and help you realize your potential. Let’s create something extraordinary together!" [Rodney Li]

So like all of us, performers or not, life is a work in progress. So here’s the short version and highlights of mine. I was born in Nyack, NY and grew up in Rockland County. HOLLA! I’m fourth of five kids and grew up around church, athletics and my father singing lots of Sinatra. After Nyack High School I went to The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) on the Upper West Side. Thankfully, I was able to do a few NY workshops to get my feet wet soon after.
My first workshop was MISTER with Anthony Rapp. Later I toured with some dance artists like The Roc Project feat. Tina Novak of Tommy Boy Records and UK artist Holly James of Ultra Records. Then Broadway called. I made my Broadway debut playing Eddie in Mamma Mia! It was truly a dream come true. During this time I was able to also perform my own material at NY venues such as The Triad, The Cutting Room and Crash Mansion with up and coming producer Christian Almiron. After a long run and lots of ABBA I relocated to San Diego’s Old Globe to perform in the World Premier of The Times They Are A-Changin’ directed by Twyla Tharp. I know! I was working with Twyla Tharp! I was trying to bring back tumbling passes I haven't done for years. It was a physical but beautiful challenge. I returned to NY to teach some dance classes only to find myself going back to San Diego a few months later. This time I was headed to La Jolla Playhouse to do the Broadway bound revival of The Wiz with David Alan Grier and the direction of Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys). After easing on down the road I moved to LA for a bit where I performed at BB Kings at Universal City Walk. More recently I performed in a workshop with Vivian Reed called Virtuosity and soon after was blessed with the opportunity to sing with her in Paris. Look out for Virtuosity in the near future!
So there it is short and sweet. Or at least what I wanted to tell you. God willing, this is just the beginning. Please check back for more projects, gigs, class and info. I hope your life and career are well. “With God all things are possible.” Peace

UPDATE
Interview 2015
Name: Albert Guerzon
Show: Honeymoon in Vegas
Nederlander Theatre
208 West 41st Street
Hometown: Nyack, NY
Your ultimate honeymoon destination: Boracay, Philippines. It’s not as crowded and less expensive than Hawaii.
How do you channel your inner Elvis?
Hmm. My Elvis reminds me of The Dynamo outfits in Mamma Mia. I’ve done that show for so long I can’t help but compare the boots and spandex. But I channel the moment I get to take those heels off after the curtain call. LOL!
If I wasn’t a performer, I would be: A teacher. I think if I went the normal college route I probably would’ve studied early music education.
Places, Intermission or Curtain Call?
I love the curtain call! There’s something really special about seeing a crowd stand up and feeling like you’ve done your job as an individual and as a company. There’s a huge sense of teamwork and gratification that comes from hearing screams and seeing people on their feet. I don’t know what they’re going through but for those two-and-a-half hours we’ve been able to help them escape, laugh and be inspired.
The best post-show cocktail in New York City is at: I don’t drink but I love me some sticky wangs and Dallas BBQ!
After you’ve hit all the traditional sites of New York City, you should totally go to…the West Village and just walk and eat. It’s not as crowded as Times Square and it’s filled with funky, trendy people walking dogs, kids playing, and people painting—it’s artsy but not as a Broadway commercial environment. I love it there!
If I could live anywhere else in the world it would be…In a brownstone in the West Village or in Piermont, NY.
My workout “secret” is: I love me a good Beachbody workout like INSANITY. I love sweating out some stress and endorphins.
When I’m looking for a date, nothing attracts me more than: My sexy wife! But we like going to zen, peaceful joints and not the loud, clubby places.
My favorite website to visit that you may not have heard of is: www.teambeachbody.com
I’m a Beachbody coach and it helps me and others stay accountable with their fitness goals.
People would be surprised to learn that I . . .once owned a Filipino Fusion restaurant in Rockland County.
When I was 10, I wanted to be just like:Michael Jackson!
Biggest gamble I’ve ever taken in my life: Opening up a restaurant.
Ten year from now I’d like to be: A songwriter for the stars. I write a lot now and would love to collaborate one day with Alicia Keys and John Legend types. It’ll happen, WATCH!
