Happy Birthday, Anthony Fedorov!

Posted: 05 May 2011 01:36 AM PDT

Season 4′s fourth place finalist, Anthony Fedorov, celebrates his birthday today. Anthony has had a very busy start to 2011.

In February, Anthony was in Japan starring as Joseph in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He was in Tokyo during the devastating earthquake, but, in an exclusive interview, he only had positive things to say about Japan and the Japanese.

On April 15^th, Anthony reprised his role as Prince Christopher in the one-night-only production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The play supported Steven Curtis Chapman’s Show Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to mobilizing individuals and communities to care for orphans and reducing the financial barriers to adoption.

Two days ago, Anthony took part in the Sarcoma Foundation of America’s 10^th Anniversary Gala. He hung out with Casey Abrams and helped raise $1 Million for the cause.

Currently, Anthony is finishing up is EP called Never Over. To promote the album and talk about his experience creating it, his time in Japan, and more, Anthony has been hosting live chats via Ustream.

Happy Birthday, Anthony!
