For his performance as Jean Valjean in the international hit Les Misérables, Colm Wilkinson earned a Laurence Olivier nomination and Tony and Drama Desk nominations. He also won the Helen Hayes Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award and a Theatre World Award for that performance. During Andrew Lloyd Webber's annual Sydmonton Festival, he created the role of The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera, a part he later played in the Toronto production to much acclaim. Wilkinson also created the role of Che for the original concept recording of Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita and has performed in major concert halls throughout the world. His first solo recording was entitled "Stage Heroes." Ticket prices and on-sale dates will be announced shortly.
