Panaro Hugh на виниле и CD-дисках (Панаро Хью)
Hugh Panaro has been described as "the leader of Broadway’s dwindling supply of great leading men." Critically lauded and adored by fans, he demonstrates versatility, charisma, tremendous vocal talent, and, in the words of one former costar, movie star good looks.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 19, 1964, Hugh's love of animals interested him in a career in veterinary medicine. However, after seeing his first Broadway show, Hugh immediately fell in love with theatre. His first role, Friedrich, in a regional production of The Sound of Music, came when he was twelve.
Hugh, who was a church organist at Saint Helena's Roman Catholic Church during high school and accompanied his mother on the organ or piano at weddings, studied music at Temple University (BA in voice, class of '85)
Moving to New York City immediately after graduation, Hugh quickly found a role in I Have Found Home. He played a German immigrant in the show which took place on a ferry to the Statue of Liberty. He later obtained his Equity card with the role of Mary Sunshine in regional production of Chicago. In 1988, Hugh originated the role of Marius Pontmercy in the first national touring production of Les Misérables, moving up to the Broadway company several months later. He was then cast by Hal Prince as Raoul de Chagny, the romantic young hero in Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical The Phantom of the Opera. His next role was as Julian Craster in Jules Styne's final musical, the ill-fated The Red Shoes in 1993. Subsequent roles included Gaylord Ravenal in Show Boat (Broadway, Toronto, and London), Buddy Foster in the original production ofSide Show, and David in the independent film, Broadway Damage.
In 1999, Hugh returned to the Majestic Theatre, this time to don the iconic mask in The Phantom of the Opera. Six months later, he originated the title role in the U.S. tour of Martin Guerre. Following Martin Guerre, Hugh drew praise for performances in Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Merrily We Roll Along in Los Angeles and as Anthony Hope in the Kennedy Center's 2002 production of Sweeney Todd.
After an off-Broadway run in LaChiusa's Little Fish, Hugh returned to play The Phantom in 2003. One of the most popular actors to fill the role, he remained with the show until October 2005, leaving to play the seductive, conflicted vampire Lestat in the Elton John musical based on Anne Rice's successful novels.
In autumn 2006, Hugh was invited to play Bobby in the 5th Avenue Theater (Seattle) production of Sondheim's pivotal musical, Company. His performance was praised as "exquisitely accomplished." FollowingCompany, Hugh has appeared in a number of concerts, including benefit shows at Joe's Pub, Birdland Jazz Club, and City Center.
In 2008, he starred as Jean Valjean in the Walnut Street Theatre's outstanding production of Les Misérables, a role which earned him praise from audiences and reviewers alike, as well as the Barrymore award. The following spring, he played the title role in the 5th Avenue Theatre's production of Sunday In The Park With George. He then starred in Oliver!, again at The Walnut in his native Philly, and also maintained an active concert schedule performing with symphonies around the world.
On September 7, 2010, Hugh returned to Broadway's Majestic Theatre to again play the iconic Phantom. Currently, he is on a summer break from the show, but will return in August. In the meantime, he will again be seen as Jean Valjean in The Muny's summer production of Les Miserables (opposite friend and Side Show costar Norm Lewis) and in several concerts.
In 2012, he was the recipient of the prestigious Edwin Forrest Award.
His genuine charm and humility, matched with a gorgeous smile, have made him a true fan favorite at many stage doors. While Hugh embraced a career in the theatre over one as a veterinarian, he remains a self-described animal freak with a particular fondness for dogs (especially his black Labradoodle, Soot).
For those of you who haven't already figured it out, this is a very emotional and special night for all of us here at Phantom. It's a very sad night for us because after two years this time around, six months back in 1999 and a grand total of 1,005 performances, tonight was the final show for our wonderful Phantom, Hugh Panaro. He deserves all of that and more. It is also a very happy occasion because we're celebrating tonight with Hugh. He is leaving us for a very good reason. He is going to be the star in Elton John's brand new musical Lestat which opens at the Palace Theater in April. And I can't wait to see all of you in line at the box office the day that tickets go on sale. I know that I will be the first in line, because truly anything that Hugh Panaro is a part of is not to be missed. This kind of God-given talent is unsurpassed and his singing and acting and his natural ability is so remarkable. But what is even more remarkable is the kind of person that he is. He is so humble and so dear and so funny and silly and he's also got movie star good looks underneath that makeup. It has been such a privilege for all of us to share the stage with you. He comes out here eight times a week and just pours his heart and soul into each performance. He never takes any of his gifts for granted and he just sets the bar so high for all of us, he lifts us up and makes us better. And though he can come out here night after night and make you cry, backstage, he makes us laugh every single night. He brings such joy into the room, and Hugh, I know that I speak for everyone onstage, backstage, in the orchestra and in the front of the house when I say that we love you so much. We will miss you terribly, but we wish you all the success and happiness that you so deserve.
And thank you most of all, thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us and your generosity as a performer and as a friend.
