Inside Le Blanc’s Return to the Stage
Le Blanc is best known for his role as Michael Baldwin on Y&R. Michael just celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with his wife, Lauren (Tracey Bregman). The soap had a special episode that commemorated the couple’s best moments and recapped their dark history.
According to a press release from Ruth Stage, Le Blanc has something to celebrate in his personal life. He’s making a brief return to the theater in January. He will appear alongside Broadway greats Nancy Lemenager and Matt de Rogatis for the limited revival, At Home at the Zoo.
The theater production is described as a “psychologically charged experience as domestic intimacy collides with feral desperation — culminating in the now-legendary park bench encounter that changed American theater forever.”
At Home at the Zoo explores loneliness, marriage, masculinity, and the desire to be seen in the world. The special event takes place on January 15th at 7:00 p.m., January 16th at 8:00 p.m., and January 17th at 8:00 p.m. at the Jersey Shore Arts.
From Theater Star to Soap Star
Le Blanc had a long-running role on the CBS soap. But he’s well known on the small stage. In 2022, he made his debut at the New York theater as Big Daddy in Ruth Stage’s Off-Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Le Blanc has other stage credits to his name, including Ladies in Retirement and No Orchids for Miss Blandish, as well as appearances at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival. Le Blanc has also contributed to the small screen, with his appearances on As the World Turns, Cheers, In the Heat of the Night, and Perry Mason.
The actor is also a proud member of the Rogue Theater Company. He recently appeared on the Soapy Podcast with his co-star, Bregman, where he spoke out about his health scare. Michael’s prostate cancer storyline encouraged him to get the truth about his own health.
