Jim Newman
Show Notes: Jim Newman is a long time pal of host Melanio Gomez, the two having met years ago as new homeowners in Asbury Park, NJ. On this episode he shares how he built his career in the performing arts, debuting on Broadway early on in “The Who's Tommy”, and performing in numerous other shows with names in lights, including Kristin Chenoweth and Liza Minnelli.
For several years he travelled the world singing as the 'Cowboy' in the Village People and from there landed a leading role in ABBA's Mamma Mia touring show, which is currently playing on Broadway (through February 1, 2026). He also shares how he grew a substantial social media following, why it's become a necessity for actors, and a cautionary tale of romance scams played out with his images on social media.
