The Underdog Story of SMALL
Rides Into GSP!
|
From the racetrack to the
stage, Robert Montano shares his extraordinary true story of
resilience and reinvention through the highs and lows of an
unconventional life. Once a jockey grappling with the pressures
and struggle to stay “SMALL,” Montano overcame immense odds to
pursue a new passion: professional dance. With Rocky-like
determination, Montano’s award-nominated performance and highly
entertaining coming-of-age journey is about a boy transforming
into a man by following his heart...and his feet.

Robert Montano was raised in
Hempstead, LI, close enough to Belmont Park Racetrack where he
had his first career as a professional racehorse jockey.
However, by age 18, Robert traded his jockey boots for ballet
slippers and applied to Adelphi Universities dance department
at age 20 without any prior training. He was accepted and
offered a full scholarship. One week shy of graduating, he
booked his first professional job in Broadway's Cats.

His career took off jumping from one show
to the next, working with great directors and choreographers
such as Hal
Prince, Rob Marshall and Jerome
Robbins. He has also had the pleasure of working
with the legendary, Chita Rivera in Kiss of the Spiderwoman, as well as her act "Chita Plus
Two." He sang and danced with Peter
Allen in Legs Diamond and starred as
Ozzie in On The Town, directed by
the innovative George C. Wolfe.
