Ari Axelrod was named one of the “36 to Watch,” recognizing him as one of the 36 most influential Jews in the country, by The Jewish Week. He received the 2022 Bistro Award for Theatrical Artistry in Song. “A Place for Us: A Celebration of Jewish Broadway,” began with a sold-out run at Birdland, featuring six-time Emmy and Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh. It has since grown to international acclaim, performing to sold-out audiences around the world, and garnered him a BroadwayWorld Award and a MAC Award nomination for Best Male Vocalist in 2020. His debut solo show “Taking the Wheel” – directed by Tony Award winner Faith Prince and music directed by multiple MAC Award winner Alex Rybeck – has been performed in numerous cities around the country. Recent credits include Fiddler on the Roof (Paper Mill Playhouse) NAMT, The York Theatre Company, and The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. His debut album, Ari Axelrod Live at Birdland, is now available on all streaming platforms.
