Internationally renowned tenor and LES MISERABLES 25th Concert At The 02 Jean Valjean himself, Alfie Boe will make his way to Manhattan for a special solo show at Joe's Pub tonight, August 15.

At the event, Boe will assumedly sing some select songs from musicals, movies and opera such as those hits showcased on his solo album ALFIE, but the focus will undoubtedly be on the selections featured on his newest album and subsequent PBS special, both titled STORYTELLER, which boasts a more contemporary coterie of composers and songwriting talent - Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley and Paul Simon included.

From the official Joe's Pub show description: "Boe, who has a home in both the US and UK with his American wife and two small children, is ready for his love affair with America to continue. He hopes new fans can begin their musical journey with him via Storyteller. They can also get to know him better through Alfie Live, a DVD of his first PBS special, which aired in June 2012. His second PBS special, Storyteller: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, will premiere in August 2013. He has also contributed music to the hit PBS series Downton Abbey and two of his songs are featured on the series' soundtrack. In addition, Boe has published an autobiography, entitled Alfie: My Story, that covers his childhood, being discovered while working as a mechanic, bringing his music to fans across the globe, and singing on Broadway and legendary opera houses - all while developing his successful recording and touring career.

Boe is excited to return to the U.S. early next year to tour in support of Storyteller. 'I just love the enthusiasm that American audiences have,' he says. 'They seriously go to a concert to have a damn good time. I feel so connected with America. I love the people.' And they will, no doubt, love the singer."
