Sean Patrick Doyle originally hails from Miami, FL. He currently appears as Chantal the Songbird in the Olivier award-winning transfer of La Cage Aux Folles at Broadway's Longacre Theatre. He previously broke 'tradition' as the first countertenor to portray the role of Fruma-Sarah in Fiddler on the Roof, opposite Chaim Topol, Harvey Fierstein, and Theodore Bikel in an extensive North American tour. Off-Broadway, he originated the role of Loki in Tarell McCraney's Wig Out! at the Vineyard Theatre (dir. Tina Landau.), garnering a rave from Ben Brantley in the New York Times. In response to his performance as Loki, opposite Daniel T. Booth, Brantley wrote, "To watch these two work the runway together is to enter a twilight zone where the natural laws of physics and biology seem to have melted and mutated.” Internationally, his credits include a year-long run as Baby John in the Asian and European tours of West Side Story (dir. Joey McKneely) and the Korean tour of Fame: the Musical. Sean Patrick's television credits include Law & Order and The Kennedy Center Honors at the John F. Kennedy Center, where he has performed in numerous concerts and operas. He holds a Bachelors of Music from Catholic University in Washington, DC. Sean Patrick is also a published playwright (Smith and Kraus) and travel photographer (Lonely Planet, et al.), and a proud member of the Actors Equity Association.

Full Biography: Sean Patrick feels very lucky to be doing what he loves every day, and to have never outgrown his childhood passion for theatre. Born and raised in Miami, FL, Sean Patrick began acting when he was five, and made his professional stage debut at the age of ten in Oliver! at Actors' Playhouse. Some of his most memorable roles as a child include Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol and Jacob in The Rothschilds. The latter was music directed by Donald Chan, who, as chance would have it, later served as conductor for the tour of West Side Story. The highlight of his childhood career, however, was playing opposite Gail Edwards as Patrick in Mame and being personally coached by Jerry Herman before the production christened The Jerry Herman Ring Theatre.

Two years later, he entered high school at South Florida's top magnet school, New World School of the Arts in downtown Miami, where he lost his boy soprano, was introduced to Meisner, and first stepped up to a ballet barre. While at New World, his most memorable performances were in A Midsummer Nights' Dream (Puck), and A Chorus Line (Bobby).

After New World, Sean Patrick chose to get his Bachelors of Music in Musical Theatre at Catholic University in Washington DC, where he studied voice with program head Maureen Codelka and cabaret sensation Jim Van Slyke. He appeared in nearly every mainstage production, but his most memorable roles were the title role in Kurt Weill's Johnny Johnson, Mark in A Chorus Line, and Goofy Clark in Best Foot Forward.

During his four years in DC, Sean Patrick was blessed with many professional opportunities including The Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Chita Rivera, dancing with the likes of Charlotte d'Amboise, Desmond Richardson, and Valerie Pettiford in an ode to West Side Story choreographed by Rob Marshall. Also at the John F. Kennedy Center, Sean Patrick appeared in the 13th Annual National Symphony Orchestra Gala (dir. Baayork Lee, chor. Karma Camp, cond. Marvin Hamlisch), A Salute to the 1940s Broadway Musical. In the Opera House, he also appeared in the corps of Washington National Opera's production of Tchaikovsky's The Maid of Orleans. A year earlier, he had the honor of re-opening the renovated Opera House with a production of Bernstein's MASS, which featured Sean Patrick as a countertenor in the lush "Kadosh" portion.

His first job out of college was the first ever national tour of South Korea, a production of Fame, the Musical. In order to take part in the production, Sean Patrick departed the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC several weeks early to join the tour and graduated in absence with his Bachelors of Music just days after opening the show in Seoul.

A few months later, he departed the country once more, and enjoyed a year-long run as Baby John in the international tour of West Side Story, directed by Joey McKneely (Broadway choreographer of The Boy from Oz, The Life, and Smokey Joe's Cafe). While on tour, he visited seventeen countries and played some of the world's most beautiful and prestigious venues including Singapore's Esplanade Theater on the Bay, the historic Bologna Opera House in Italy, The Dresden Semper Opera in Germany, and the notable Bunkamura Theater in Tokyo.

Sean Patrick is also an accomplished playwright and travel photographer. As a young man, his first play Solving Manhattan was produced as part of City Theatre's Kid Shorts. City Theatre's continual showcase of new short works (now in conjunction with the Actors Theatre of Louisville) inspired Sean Patrick to write more works in the short format. His work has now appeared on the stages of Miami, Chicago, and Washington, DC. An excerpt from his one-act play Vent now appears in Audition Arsenal for Men in Their 20s: 101 Monologues by Type, 2 Minutes & Under, published by Smith & Kraus. Another excerpt from the same play appears in 60 Seconds to Shine: 221 One Minute Monologues for Women. In September 2007, one of his travel photographs from his year-long adventure with West Side Story was published in Lonely Planet's The Asia Book. Sean Patrick continues to document his travels, and has been honored by the Miami Herald and awarded honors in Lonely Planet's photo competitions.
