Jeff Whitty Biography

Jeff Whitty is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on September 30, 1971 in Coos Bay, Coos Bay, United States. Jeffrey Whitty was born September 30, 1971 in Coos Bay, Oregon where he was raised as the fifth of six children. After graduating from the University of Oregon in 1993, he moved to New York City and received a master’s degree from New York University’s Graduate Acting Program in 1997. After two decades in New York he moved to Los Angeles in 2013.

Whitty wrote the libretto for Bring It On: The Musical, a “free adaptation” of the popular film series with an original story by Whitty, with music by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda and lyrics by Amanda Green and Miranda. Direction was by Andy Blankenbuehler with music direction by Alex Lacamoire. The musical premiered at the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia on January 16, 2011. The musical subsequently went on a multi-city national tour beginning at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles on October 30, 2011. A revised version opened for a limited run at Broadway’s St. James Theatre on August 1, 2012 and was nominated for the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical.

Whitty is an occasional actor, having appeared in New York productions of plays by Amy Freed, including The Beard of Avon and Freedomland, as well as small roles in the films Garmento, Lisa Picard is Famous, and a cameo in Shortbus. Among his theatrical credits include stints at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, Philadelphia Theatre Company, and Playwrights Horizons and New York Theatre Workshop in New York City. In 2012 for a 25-performance run he played the titular role in his own The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler in a production by New York company Exit, Pursued by a Bear, with Billy Porter playing the co-leading role of Mammy. Both roles had been created for and played by women until this production.

In 2015, Whitty premiered his original vision of Head Over Heels (musical) at the outdoor 1100-seat Allen Elizabethan Theatre at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. His co-writer and music supervisor was Carmel Dean. Whitty devised the jukebox musical as a hybrid of Sir Philip Sidney’s The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia and the back catalog of 80’s pop stars The Go-Go’s. After it opened on June 13, Whitty’s version of the musical sold out its five-month run within two weeks. New York Times drama critic Charles Isherwood praised Whitty’s book as “deliciously witty, bawdy and full of loopy appeal — and written mostly in skillfully wrought iambic pentameter yet.”

Mr. Whitty’s plays include The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler which was commissioned by and received its world premiere at South Coast Repertory in January, 2006; The Plank Project (a parody of documentary theater pieces like The Laramie Project); the multi-play cycle Balls; The Hiding Place, a romantic Manhattan comedy which received its New York debut at the Atlantic Theater Company; the dark comedy Suicide Weather.
