To celebrate the hit musical's new stars, Broadway.com Resident Artist Justin "Squigs" Robertson sketched a portrait featuring Peters, Garber, Stemp and Griggs delighting audiences alongside the show's original cast members.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
