Hugh Panaro is a Broadway and concert fan favorite and, of course, has many “Phans” who have come to know this skillful actor/singer from his over 2,000 performances as The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway and, before that, as Raoul, a rare distinction.

Ella Fitzgerald called him “…the best accompanist in the world.”

Nicolas King has appeared on Broadway in A Thousand Clowns with Tom Selleck, Carol Burnett’s Hollywood Arms directed by Hal Prince, and was the longest-running Chip in Disney’s Beauty & The Beast. His TV credits include appearances on “The View,” “Today,” “Sally Jesse Raphael,” twice on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Kenny The Shark,” 8 consecutive years on Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon in Las Vegas, and numerous national TV commercials.
