Carlos Valdes Is Balancing Broadway and Life as a New Dad: 'It's Not for the Faint of Heart' (Exclusive)


Carlos Valdes has two new roles these days — Orpheus, in Broadway's 'Hadestown,' and Dad, at home to a new baby. He tells PEOPLE about balancing both in an exclusive interview.

The 35-year-old actor — who found fame during his 9-season run as Cisco Ramon on The Flash — is back on Broadway after an 11-year absence, leading the company of the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown as the idealistic and open-hearted musician, Orpheus. Lucky for Valdes, he has a community of people he can lean on — starting with dad of two Darren Criss, currently on the boards in Maybe Happy Ending. "I'm grateful I came into this experience with an incredible, supportive group of people, which is really the best-case scenario for a situation like this," Valdes shares.
