Playbill Travel’s Broadway on the Danube River With Michael Feinstein kicks off November 3 in Vienna, Austria. The once-in-a-lifetime trip sails November 3–13, 2017, through the lush European countryside and cultural landmarks of Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and Hungary while featuring the crème de la crème of Broadway talent—including Christopher Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was Tony-nominated for his performances as hunch-backed assistant Igor in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, the leprechaun full of doom and gloom Finian's Rainbow, and the loveable romantic Oggie in Waitress—in which he currently stars. He has also been seen on Broadway in Amour, Chicago,The Merchant of Venice, and An Act of God. Fitzgerald also originated the role of Boq in Broadway’s long-running smash Wicked.
