Not many 29-year olds can boast of a 25-year career. This is only one of the accolades that sets Nicolas King apart from his peers. Act One features performances that span these 25 years, including a duet with Tom Selleck ("Yes Sir, That's My Baby"), a duet with the incomparable Jane Monheit ("But Beautiful") and an introduction from his godmother, the legendary Liza Minnelli, for whom he was the opening act from 2002 to 2012. Nicolas appeared in three Broadway productions before the age of 12 and television and live performances too numerous to name followed. Known as a "Skat King", Nicolas has a gift for proving that jazz music is fun and relevant whether you are 12 or 92. We will see a lot more from Nicolas King because after 25 years, he's just getting started!
