By: Kelsey Denette Sep. 20, 2012
"A Phantom Returns" is set for Thursday September 20th, 7:30pm, at the Clayton Opera House, Clayton, New York. Tickets: $20. To order call 315-686-2200 or visit www.PeterKarrie.com.
Following his sold out concert tour in British Columbia Canada, and a special appearance at the London 2012 Paralympic Closing Ceremonies, Peter Karrie will continue his "Phantom Returns" concert tour in New York. Last week performing to a sold out crowd at the Historical Pickens Opera House in Heuvelton New York, Peter will continue the trend in Clayton New York!
Karrie is best known for his award-winning portrayal of Phantom in Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera in London, Toronto, Vancouver, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bradford, and Manchester. The Vancouver Sun described his performance in the role as "definitive". He has also been cast as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, Che in Evita, Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha, and Daddy Warbucks in Annie. While his concerts around the globe have been sell-out successes, local news agencies report the concerts have been "Spectacular!" (Cambrian News) and full of "splendid entertainment" (Western Mail).
He will be joined again by local soprano and rising star Kaitlyn Lashomb. Karrie had the privilege performing with her last week at the benefit concert to raise funds for the Historical Pickens Opera House. Other guests appearances include the Clayton School District Choir.
Karrie's fifth CD, "Standing Alone" is about to be officially released but pre-release copies will be available at the concert. The album features songs from Phantom, Little Shop of Horrors, The Contender, Love Never Dies, and some traditional Welsh tunes. Taking two years to create, Karrie states, "I think it's a fun album that is very unusual...an eclectic mix of music". The album will be available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon in the weeks to come. For details, visit his website:www.PeterKarrie.com.
