WITH: Jamie Mann 

 

Jamie Mann, a Westport native, made his Broadway debut in spring 2025 in "Stranger Things: The First Shadow," playing Ted Wheeler (the teenage version of Mike Wheeler's dad, from the famed TV series) and understudying James Hopper, Jr. Jamie began training with Cynthia Gibb at the age of 8, which is when a casting director scouted him and his professional acting journey began. A dancer since he could walk, Jamie trained with Alvin Ailey and the School of American Ballet in New York and danced with New York City Ballet (Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Harlequinade). He played Billy Elliot in Billy Elliot the Musical (Maltz Jupiter, Fulton, Palace), “Dunlap” in Because of Winn Dixie (Goodspeed) and put his singing and dancing skills to use in his series regular role as “Brody” on Netflix’s music themed show Country Comfort, starring Katharine McPhee. Jamie also portrayed Tate on Days of Our Lives (Peacock) in 2023 – 24. He earned his BFA in musical theatre from the University of Michigan in spring 2025. Go Blue!
