Florida State University has announced that alumnus and Broadway performer Kevin Covert is returning to the school to choreograph and play J.B. Biggley in the school’s upcoming production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, to run October 19-28.

Since graduating from FSU with a BFA in music theatre in 1992, Covert has appeared in the original Broadway casts of Monty Python’s Spamalot and Memphis as well as the recent revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

On participating in the casting process for Florida State’s How to Succeed, Covert remarked in a statement, “The talent was so deep that after that first day of general auditions, I was like, ‘we are golden.'”
