I believe his first big Broadway role was as a theatrical producer in
Stephen Sondheim's MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, although he's not featured very
prominently on the OCR. He also had a big, career-making part in THE
RINK, and won a Tony for his work in JEROME ROBBINS' BROADWAY.

Jason has been in "The Rink," "Merrily We Roll Along,” “Accomplice,” and
Neil Simon’s “Broadway Bound” and “The Rink.” His theatrical capstone,
however, was Jerome Robbins’ “Broadway,” for which he won the 1989 Tony
Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Jason also authored the narration for
the show, which itself went on to become the Tony Award winner for Best
Musical. Most recently, Jason portrayed Harry Truman in the one man play
"Give ‘Em Hell Harry," which brought unanimous raves from Los Angeles
theater critics and audiences.
