Daniel recently appeared as the 'Air Traffic Controller' in the North American Premiere of the new musical, 42 Balloons at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, June 2025.

 

Written by Jack Godfrey, Direction by Ellie Coote and Choreography by Alexandra Sarmiento. 42 Balloons is produced by special arrangement with Kevin McCollum, Andy Barnes and Wendy Barnes, and Sonia Friedman Productions in association with Debbie Hicks, Sam Levy, KLIVE Entertainment Corp., Kenny Wax, and The Lowry

Inspired by an unbelievable true story, 42 Balloons is a soaringly original musical from the award-winning producers of SIX. On July 2, 1982, truck driver Larry Walters defied the odds (and FAA airspace regulations) to achieve his lifelong dream of flying. In a lawn chair attached to 42 weather balloons, Larry—supported by his girlfriend and a community of unlikely heroes—ascended 16,000 feet into the blue sky above LA, and from the moment he landed, their lives would never be the same. Featuring an irresistible ’80s pop-inspired score, 42 Balloons is a funny, moving, and thrillingly staged new musical that asks: How far would you go for your dream… and how far would you be willing to fly?
