Music and Lyrics by Erica Glenn

A scene from a theatrical play showing a man kneeling on the floor and a woman standing behind him, with a fire pit and wooden furniture on stage.
Two actors on stage, a young girl with curly hair and a red bow, smiling and holding onto a man with a beard and mustache, dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with a concerned expression. The background is dark, indicating a theatrical scene.

Who I’d Be - Shrek the Musical

Shrek was a fun role to play. I was able to visit WERS radio station in Boston to Promote Wellesley Players Production and sing Who I’d Be along-side Angela Richardson as Fiona and Tim McShea as Donkey.

Once Upon a Time (Bare) - My Gay Canvas Cabaret

I had the privilege to perform in my first solo cabaret at Club Cafe in Boston,Ma to share pieces of my life through my favorite song and storytelling.. This song from Bare the Pop Opera specifically highlights the journey of the struggle of my queer identity and the love for god.

The poster features a smiling man with a trimmed beard and a pink shirt, along with text about the event details and a separate image of a woman in vintage attire sitting at a desk, representing Josephine's Cabaret.

When Words Fail

"When Words Fail" from Shrek the Musical is a heartfelt ballad about vulnerability, self-acceptance, and finding the courage to be your authentic self. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to perform this beautiful song with the Franklin Performing Arts Company, accompanied by the talented Henry Roseman on piano.

Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy the performance.

What People Are Saying About Anthony?

“Pires commands the stage every time he’s on it, even when he’s sitting at one of its tables; his broadly comedic take on “Your Feet’s Too Big” brought the house down, and his booming voice often served as the fulcrum for his castmates’ vocal flights. “

— Boston Globe (Ain’t Misbehavin)

“Standing out among a quartet that includes Yewande Odetoyinbo (“Caroline, or Change,” “Breath & Imagination”) is no mean feat, but Pires’s fearless performance delivers three-dimensional portrayals of a repressed preacher’s son, a free-spirited citizen of Amsterdam, and a brusque member of an artists’ collective in Berlin”

— Boston Globe (Passing Strange)

“Anthony Pires, Jr. (Ton-Ton Julian) brings a lithe physicality, knock ‘em dead pipes and an irresistible twinkle in his eye to his role.”
