NEW YORK (WABC) — Mark Consuelos, cohost of “Live! with Kelly and Mark,” is about to make his Broadway debut in the revival of Noel Coward’s classic comedy “Fallen Angels.”
Consuelos plays a key role in the romp as the romantic interest of two married women.
“I’m getting really excited about it, I love being in a theater, I mean, usually I’m in the audience,” he said.
And Consuelos is no stranger to an audience, he has spent nearly every day the last three years in front of one while co-hosting “Live!” with his wife. But now, as the day comes to an end with “Live!” a whole new show is about to begin.
Consuelos started his acting career five months after graduating from college, but he said Broadway wasn’t always the dream.
His first acting gig on “All my Children” famously led him to Kelly and he hasn’t stopped working since. From movies to TV shows to co-hosting “Live!” and somehow owning a soccer team in Italy, the man doesn’t sit still. But now it has all led him to Broadway.
“I actually never thought it would be in the cards for me, I’ve done theater, I’ve done small theater, off-off-off Broadway theater, I love it, I love the experience of being… and making people perform,” Consuelos said. “I think it’s magic. I think it’s so quintessentially New York.”
He said before joining his wife on “Live!” he had just come off a seven-year run of being in different countries and cities and never really being home. The timing never worked out to do a play.
“But now we’re in New York, anchored to the city… my agent said, ‘It’s time. Let’s do a play,’ I thought they were gonna bring me something like a small, edgy downtown show where I could go hide,” Consuelos said. “But no – this is right smack dab in the middle of Broadway.”
The show is a revival of Noel Coward’s 1925 comedy. It stars Academy Award nominee Rose Byrne and Tony winner Kelli O’Hara as two upper-class housewives who discover they have both had an affair with the same man – and that man is played by Consuelos.
“It’s really an examination of relationships and marriage,” he said. “At what point does a marriage become… rote? And this play, during its time when it was written, over 100 years ago, caused a lot of drama, because it was seen as a little too obscene to be staged. A little too edgy for that era.”
And Consuelos isn’t the only one in the family making his Broadway debut — his son is also making his Broadway debut this spring in the revival of “Death of a Salesman.”
“My only regret is that I won’t be able to see him on opening night because I’ll be in a preview,” Consuelos said. “But maybe I’ll be able to sneak in the first 30 minutes and rush over to my theater… or at least go to the party afterwards and just be a proud dad.”
Previews of “Fallen Angels” begin on March 27 at the Todd Haimes Theatre.
