He’s been featured here before, but since his new book is available to order now, it seems a fitting moment to post a feature on Mark MacKillop. ‘Rm. XIV’ is Mr. MacKillop’s coffee-table book collection of photos taken during a ‘West Side Story’ touring stint in Europe. He described the tour as a challenge that left him feeling isolated, which, to our benefit, resulted in this collection of intimate portraits.
With an introduction penned by ‘Kinky Boots’ star Billy Porter, the book comes with Broadway’s blessing, and some serious theatrical fairy dust. MacKillop is one of those rare performers who seems inwardly shy and introverted, while thrilling the world with his talent and craft. ‘Rm. XIV’ offers a peek behind the veil, with the perfect alchemy of intimacy and intrusiveness.
The book can be ordered here, and a few limited-edition versions are still available.
