His father traveled to Paris, where the show received its world premiere at the Theatre Du Chatelet. The experience, Uranowitz said, was emotional.
“I very rarely see my dad cry,” Brandon continued, “I think once when my dog died. The last time I remember my dad crying was when he came to Paris to see this show. This is a big moment for all of us — me and my dad. It’s been nice to see his influence sort of come to a head in my career and to feel that. It sort of helps me also connect to the piece a little bit.”
It was a three-act production with swimming, dancing, and towels that said “I had a splash at Brandon’s bar mitzvah.” He attended Montclair Kimberley Academy.
