MORE ABOUT NICK CARTELL: Nick Cartell has made a triumphant return to the role he inhabited for two-and-a-half years pre-pandemic, once again playing prisoner 24601, aka Jean Valjean, on the North American tour of Les Misérables! Nick made his Broadway debut in the Tony® nominated 2012 revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, understudying and performing the roles of Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, and the High Priest Annas. He followed that up by again understudying (mostly-naked) men in a (religion-based) musical story at the very same theater in Scandalous: The Musical, penned by "The Today Show" host Kathie Lee Gifford and can be heard on the Original Broadway Cast Recording. Nick also appeared in Paramour, the first musical produced by Cirque Du Soleil, where he was a standby for and performed the three male lead roles. Nick's first national touring experience was across the U.S. and Canada in The Phantom of the Opera, where he understudied Raoul. Nick has enjoyed performing regionally and singing with the South Coast Symphony, Phoenix Symphony and as a member of the critically-acclaimed group The Broadway Boys. In March 2019, he performed his first solo show, Bringing It Home, to a sold-out room at 54 Below. A graduate of Arizona State University with a BFA in Theatre, Nick enjoyed a stint in Japan performing with a certain famous Mouse. While there he met his incredible wife, actress Christine Cartell. Together, they have scaled the Great Wall, climbed Mt. Fuji, are producing this show and have also produced three iterations of Broadway Fights Ovarian Cancer, a benefit concert raising funds and awareness for Ovarian Cancer research, in honor of Nick's late mother. The Cartells' finest collaboration to date is their little girl, who insists she will someday play Little Cosette.
