Bart Shatto BIO

From the stages of Broadway, where he played the pivotal role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, to packed
arenas on tour with the Gold/Platinum selling rock-symphonic band, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Bart has
delighted audiences with his magnificent talents. Year after year, fans faithfully return to hear him sing “Old
City Bar” dressed in rags, once again retelling his Christmas “fable” of giving. Bart’s vocals can be heard on
albums including the original Children of Eden (original cast) and several Trans-Siberian Orchestra
soundtracks.
A versatile actor/singer, Bart has shined in leading roles on Broadway (“Les Miserables,” “Dracula,” and “The
Civil War”/Tony Nom. Best Musical), Broadway National Tours (“Les Miserables,” “CATS,” “ The Civil
War"/Helen Hayes Nom. Best Musical), as well as some of the most acclaimed regional theaters in the country
(i.e., Actors Theatre of Louisville, Fords Theatre, Alley Theatre.) His impressive resume boasts an eclectic skill
set garnering him national commercial spots (ESPN, Comcast, Minolta, Conair), unique Television roles
("Ghost Stories," "Guiding Light") and leads in short films (“Finding Father,” “Opening Fright.” He has also
had the privilege of performing at such distinguished venues as Carnegie Hall and at the National Theatre in
Washington D.C. for President George Bush.
Bart resides in New Jersey with his wife Amy Bladen, P.h.D. and his teenage son and budding thespian, Conor
Shatto.

Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET by Ogunquit Playhouse At The Music Hall

What did our critic think of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Ogunquit Playhouse At The Music Hall? On December 4, 1956, at a time when their individual careers were on different trajectories, four musical legends gathered at Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee to record a few tunes. It would be the one and only time that the four musicians ever jammed together in a recording studio.

Review: THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES at North Coast Repertory Theatre

THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES isn’t meant for the purists. Nor is it remarkable. An audience has to slog through a tiring array of blowhards and buffoonery shot through with a tonal sensibility that treads a line between broad comedy and offensiveness.

THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES Comes to North Coast Repertory Theatre Next Month

It’s London in the 1890s. The city is besieged with a series of baffling crimes that only the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his new assistant can solve. Not only do they sleuth and scrutinize – they also sing!

BWW Review: Nicholas Kaminski Brings An Exciting New Voice to The Green Room 42

Nicholas Kaminski, whose self-titled show opened on Saturday at the Green Room 42, is a new writer who would have felt completely at home in the mountain resorts where clever and topical songs were created at a breakneck pace. I have had the pleasure of seeing M Kaminski sing his songs individually at Michael McAssey’s “Open Mac” at Pangea. They are always something fresh and unexpected. Seeing an entire evening of his work was something I was looking forward to. I’m happy to report he did not disappoint. Together with his friends, Staci Jo Johnson, Rachel Phalen, Jada Valenciaga, Bart Shatto, Kelsey Kaufman, Lauren Ranahan, and Aaron Remy, he delivered over a dozen well-crafted story songs that announce the arrival of a very individual new musical theatre voice. Mr. Kaminski has a talent for catchy melodies and wry, self-deprecating lyrics that have the elegance of Bock & Harnick combined with the bawdiness of William Finn.

The Green Room 42 has announced their February line-up for in-person performances. Additionally, The Green Room 42 is excited to launch 5/5/5 Tickets – in celebration of their 5th Anniversary, five $5 tickets will be available for every show from February 15, 2022, through February 14, 2023.
