Basking Ridge's Gabriel Subervi Cast In Chicago Musical

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Basking Ridge native Gabriel Subervi has been cast as Hobbs Totonchi in the Chicago-based Marriott Theatre’s upcoming production of Always Something There.

Always Something There… is an energetic new jukebox musical by Chicago native Sandy Rustin (known for Clue, The Cottage, Mystic Pizza), set to a dynamic soundtrack of 1980s pop hits.

Blending time-travel with heartfelt comedy, the story follows Samantha Craig, who wakes up on her 45th birthday to find herself back in her 18-year-old body in suburban Chicago, 1989. With the insight of adulthood, she gets the rare chance to relive her senior year — reconnecting with old friends, reclaiming her voice, and perhaps reigniting a first love.

Subervi, a current sophomore at Baldwin Wallace University pursuing a BM in Music Theatre, is quickly building an impressive resume in regional theatre.

His credits include In the Heights (Sonny) at Signature Theatre & Cleveland Playhouse, Peter and the Starcatcher (Smee) at Great Lakes Theatre, and standout roles in Newsies, Cats, Matilda, and Guys & Dolls.

He’s also been recognized with the Papermill Playhouse Rising Star Award and Montclair State University’s Jo Ann Fox Theatre Night Award.

Beyond the stage, Subervi is a passionate comic book reader, piano player, and video game enthusiast.

"Always Something There" is previewing June 18, opening Wednesday, June 25 at 7 p.m., and running through Aug. 10.
