Flying High! Paramour on Broadway's Justin Prescott is the recipient of the first Robe for the 2016/2017 season

“When I heard my name I almost fainted – not really, but my heart did skip a beat. Seeing this tradition being passed down for the past six years, and to now be a part of it is an awesome feeling. I remember seeing all of my colleagues smiling and screaming as I ran around the circle; it was like I was crowned the prom king!”
