ADAM KANTOR

Adam Kantor, born May 27, 1986, is an actor and singer, best known for his Broadway and off-Broadway roles as Mark Cohen in the closing cast of Rent; Motel, a tailor, in the 2015 revival of Fiddler on the Roof; and as an original cast member in The Band’s Visit. Judi Rosenzweig remembers him as a student in her second-grade religious school class at TBE. (Maybe magical melody-enhancing molecules were sprinkled in her classrooms, as Craig Resmovits from the Jewish a cappella group Six13 was a student in her TBE toddler class.) Interestingly, the Broadway actor made his theatrical debut in Fiddler, playing Mendel, the rabbi’s son, in sixth grade at Great Neck North Middle School and portraying Tevye in a Great Neck community youth theater production two years later. He became a bar mitzvah at TBE and graduated from Great Neck North. His family belonged from the early ’90s through 2010.
