Thomas Borchert (born 20 July 1966) is a German actor and singer who rose to fame as one of Europe's leading actors in musical theatre.
His first professional role was the Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, and he has experienced a successful career in notable productions, including Dan in the European premiere of Neck to Normal, Naroch in the world premiere of Moses, Count von Krolock in Tanz der Vampire, Dracula in Dracula, and Dantès in The Count of Monte Christo, a role that was written for Borchert personally by composer Frank Wildhorn.
Based on the biography of world-renowned Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, this hit production by VBW shines a new light on a legend: far from the established cliché, MOZART! presents the brilliant artist as a complex and ambiguous character, haunted by his own genius while struggling with life’s cruel challenges.
