ABOUT

Alexander Sage Oyen is a new musical theatre composer/lyricist and performer. His musical, Dachau (music and lyrics w/ Christopher Metz), was workshopped at The University of Central Florida and his concert/song cycle, Context (now titled "Rebel Verses"), premiered in New York City. As a kid, he was seen rocking out on VH1s In Search of the Partridge Family where he came in third for the role of Danny Partridge. He also had the incredible opportunity to perform beside Broadway veterans Faith Prince and Davis Gaines as Toby in Sweeney Todd. He's currently attending the University of Minnesota/ Guthrie BFA Actor Training Program and is also hard at work on two original book-musicals and other miscellaneous writing projects. His debut album, If I Knew Better: The Songs of Alexander Sage Oyen, is due out this March, 2011! The story: As a kid- Alexander Sage Oyen wanted to be a rock star (up there alongside his heroes- N*Sync and Hanson). Nothing has changed. His Mother, the acclaimed Cabaret singer Lois Sage taught him to harmonize at the age of three and he was hooked. Growing up, he also had incredible musical influences like listening to John Bucchino (for whom his Mom sang original demos of his brilliant songs), Stephen Schwartz and Stephen Sondheim in the car as a kid. He fell in love with their songs, their brilliant sensibility for character and their incredible gift for melody- and then fell in love with the rock stylings and piano techniques of Billy Joel and Elton John. Now he's got Ben Folds, John Mayer and John Butler Trio on his list of musical influences (just to name a few). At the age of 19, Alexander Sage Oyen is releasing his debut album featuring some of his best friends singing songs that range from being written a few months ago, to when he was 13 years old.

All in moderation... of course. Produced at the University of Central Florida and at the 2011 Orlando Fringe Festival."Piano-based, feel-good, obscenity-filled musical numbers that celebrate being “At the Club,” or teach how to play beer pong, or detail the day after the frat party...The musical numbers and writing are hysterical, and each actor executes them brilliantly." -Kelly Fitzpatrick, The Orlando Sentinel"“Beer: The Musical” is a campy hoot, almost as if the writers took a page from the likes of “Reefer Madness” and added songs to it... there are some great songs mixed in here, that cleverly exploit the basic concept and none, I think, more uniquely appealing than a gentle, romantic love ballad sung by the gross, drunken frat guy and the easy girl who’ll sleep with anybody after she consumes a few beers. They explain, in his beautiful number, why they’re going from the party to the bedroom. It’s beer . that wicked destroyer of good moral inhibitions. Performed in a style that might make Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond look on with envy, the mix of romantic tone and crude skank lyrics is hilarious."-Michael Freeline, Freeline Media
