Victor Mumo: Victor Mumo (Charlie Cowel):I took the stage in a series of unforgettable roles that showcased my passion for the performing arts. From the whimsical world of "Shrek," where I oinked my way into hearts as the Pig, to the colorful Mayor of Munchkin City in the timeless "Wizard of Oz," my journey through musical theater had already been marked by laughter and joy. However, it was my standout performance as the charismatic Sebastian the Lobster in "The Little Mermaid'' that really stole the spotlight. With a Caribbean flair and a voice that echoed through the underwater kingdom, I brought the character to life, earning praise for my stage presence and musical prowess. The role allowed me to explore the depths of both comedy and emotion, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
