Chester Gregory
Before Chester Gregory was cast as novice cop Eddie Souther (aka “Sweaty Eddie”) in the soulful Broadway musical Sister Act, he originated the roles of Dupree in Cry-Baby and Terk in Tarzan and took over the role of Seaweed J. Stubbs in Hairspray. Pre-Broadway, Gregory wowed audiences—and Hairspray producers—as the exuberant title character in the touring production of The Jackie Wilson Story.
