Theatre Artist | Translator | Chicago

ABOUT

Caden Zane Marshall is a Chicago-based theatre artist with over 15 years of experience on the stage. He specializes in musical theatre, Deaf theatre, and theatre history. When he’s not working as a freelance ASL interpreter, he spends much of his time researching lesser-known works of musical theatre using his influencer platform to uplift theatre works and theatremakers under the moniker “@TheMusicalDealer”. Caden has a deep love for new works and unconventional approaches to conventional art forms, particularly those that are led by or highlight marginalized voices and that break tradition.

“Caden Marshall is an incredible actor, a singer who can shine in multiple styles, and an extremely gifted dancer. He is the total package and I would not be surprised to see his name in lights one day..”

— The Life and Times | Rikki Lee Travolta
“Handsome Caden Marshall is excellent as bad boy Misha Bachinski…His authentic-sounding dialect, burning hot physique, sexy dance moves and finely trained voice make Misha’s heartfelt “This Song is Awesome” and “Talia” all that more beautiful.”

— Chicago Theatre Review
“Caden Marshall is bringing new heights to the idea of accessible art....He has harnessed the power of the digital algorithm to connect theatre fans with undersung shows.“
