“Seeing my first Broadway show at seven years old sparked a dream that never left me. I remember thinking, ‘How do I get up there one day?’” said Gargiula in a statement. “Now, making my Broadway debut in “& Juliet” feels like the most unreal full-circle moment.”
Gargiula has performed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Today,” “The Four” and “I Can See Your Voice.” His online “Kitchen Singing Series,” created with Jonathan Tilkin, has featured collaborations with Jeff Goldblum, Kristen Bell, Leslie Odom Jr. and more. A recording artist, Gargiula can be heard on the songs “Constant” with Maverick City Music and Jordin Sparks, as well as the Disney tunes “I2I” and “Nobody Like U.”
