ABOUT BILLY RECCE:
Billy Recce is a Billboard charting, two-time MAC and NEO award-winning writer, composer and singer/songwriter living in New York City.One of the most prolific young musical theatre writers of his generation, Billy’s career began with the award winning and international headline making Balloon Boy: The Musical, for which he was the youngest writer ever selected for the New York Musical Theatre Festival at 17. Its World Premiere Production was featured on CBS, NBC, NPR, Colorado Public Radio, TIME.com, the LA Times, and even Fox News, and has since been produced across the country.
By the time he was a senior at Fordham University, he had already penned the music and lyrics to a hit off-broadway musical; the long running “A Musical About Star Wars,” which transferred to St. Luke’s Theatre for a year long run after an initial run at Theatre Row. Its cast album is available on Broadway Records, and in Winter of 2021 it will embark on a National Tour.
Before he was of legal drinking age, Billy had co-authored songs for Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Laura Benanti and Tituss Burgess on “The Birds and the BS with Jordan Roth,” served as the head writer and composer of the Award Winning BroadwayWorld sitcom “Rachel Unraveled” and sold out 54 Below several times with his traveling “Snowflake Jamboree” concerts—a raucous, anything goes concert series featuring Broadway Stars and a merry band of newcomers singing his musical theatre and comedy songs.
In 2018, Billy won his first MAC Award for Comedy Song, and repeated his win in the same category in 2020. In 2017, Recce was the recipient of the York Theatre Company NEO Award. In October 2018, his debut album “The Perks of Being A Snowflake” was released on all music platforms.
