Taylor Hicks is living the dream. So is Dominic Fortuna who plays Vince Fontaine in “Grease.”
Dominic answered questions for TTHC about his career, living the dream, and Taylor Hicks.
The Michigan native who also played along side Taylor in “Grease” on Broadway, was asked what would be his “dream role” in theatre.
“This might sound funny, but it really is Vince Fontaine! And doing the warm-up and everything. I can't imagine anything fitting me so well! I'm living the dream! :)”
Dominic is the welcoming face and voice of “Grease” as the charismatic DJ who warms up the theatre crowds and then steps into the role of DJ for the Rydell High School prom. With a strong, dramatic voice mimicking the recording artists of the era, he brightens up the theatre before the lights go down. You would swear you were in the back seat listening to the Top Twenty! Even his instructions to turn off all listening devices are entertaining!
Dominic is friendly and personable off stage, and is so much the character that he plays, it is hard not to call him “Vince.” He attended Taylor’s show at Roxy’s and told fans afterwards that it was “great.”
Read more about Dominic’s other musical ventures, his entertainment idols, how he relaxes, and what it’s like to work with Taylor Hicks.
What is his review of Taylor’s music outside of “Grease”?

Dominic's warmup of the audience is one of the best things about this production of Grease.
He seems to have bonded with Taylor outside the show .
Thanks to him for the interview, which was very informative.
Love seeing Taylor's castmates doing well.
Very informative interview. Dominic seems to be a down-to-earth regular guy himself and I'm so happy Taylor has added another hardworking professional to his inner circle.
Thanks for the interview.
I find it intriguing how ordinary people come together with a dream; then birth a new friendship between themselves. Sounds like he also has a natural way to entice an audience & win them over. Good for you, Dominic!
Thanx also for the interview♥
