In Booksmart , Noah Galvin all but ensured moviegoers would never hear Alanis Morissettes You Oughta Know the same way again when he performed or, rather, interpreted the song in a very, um, literal way .

The scene demonstrated Galvins flair for physical comedy and reminded fans that hes first and foremost a theater guy. A starring role on ABCs The Real ONeals may have put the 25-year-old actor on the national map, but hes becoming a Broadway mainstay, too, having taken over the title role in Dear Evan Hansen and currently starring in the musical adaptation of Waitress .

In January, Galvin originated multiple roles in the off-Broadway musical Alice by Heart , Duncan Sheik and Steven Saters provocative reimagining of Alice in Wonderland.

HuffPost got an exclusive first listen to Manage Your Flamingo, a track from the Alice by Heart cast album that reenvisions the character of the Duchess (played by Galvin) as a cross-dressing body shamer whos in a mood, according to Sater.

From the first audition he did to the final performance he gave, Noah was a continual joy and revelation as the Duchess, Sater told HuffPost. He was forever unearthing fresh layers of comic disdain and bruised emotion.

Alice by Heart, which debuted at New Yorks MCC Theater on Jan. 30, took characters and situations from Lewis Carrolls Wonderland stories and reset them in 1941, during World War IIs London Blitz. The revamped story follows Alice Spencer (played by Molly Gordon) and her ailing friend, Alfred (Colton Ryan). Seeking refuge in an underground tube station, Alice imagines herself as the heroine of Carrolls story, while Alfred becomes the White Rabbit.
