When the pandemic laid waste to the New York arts economy, Richardson withdrew to North Carolina, disenchanted with acting. He was writing music and considering his options when a British agent friend offered to send him up for some UK jobs — ‘I quite literally said, anything but musicals…’ After a taped and in-person audition for Guys & Dolls, he heard he’d been cast as Sky while visiting his partner of five years, Fay van Baar, a dancer with Nederlands Dans Theater. The news came via his mum. ‘When I go through callbacks and I know I am down to the last few, I turn my phone off, because otherwise I’m just waiting for news,’ he says, as if this is completely normal.
