In the world of Musical Theatre, Wesley tap danced across the United States with the National Tour of the Broadway Musical, 42nd Street.

Wesley entertains regularly at special events and was the go-to crooner and entertainer for the Producer's Guild of America's Holiday Party for many years. He spent five holiday seasons delighting PGA members with a combination of classic Christmas standards and traditional selections from the American Songbook. Most recently, serving as an Oscars-style host for their newly reformatted holiday show, featuring an opening musical number complete with tap dancing and new lyrics for the song "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails".
Wesley stepped into the shoes of both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly for 58 consecutive nights, dancing their original choreography in Laguna Beach's legendary Pageant of the Masters.

Look for Wesley dancing away with a slew of fellow Sailors in a scene from the Coen Brothers film, Hail, Caesar! choreographed by Christopher Gatelli.
