HUGH PANARO
began performing
professionally at the age of 13. He made his Broadway debut in Les
Misérables as Marius, the role he originated in the first national
company. Hugh created the roles of Buddy in Side Show and Julian
in Jules Styne's last musical, The Red Shoes . He made his West End
debut in the original London company of Harold Prince's Show Boat
as Ravenal, the role he played on Broadway and in Toronto. At
Avery Fisher Hall, he performed with the Radio City Rockettes in
Jerry Herman's Mack and Mabel and also in The Stephen Sondheim
Gala, the culmination of the Kennedy Center's "Summer of
Sondheim," where Hugh was Anthony Hope in Sweeney Todd . In L.A.,
Hugh was Franklin Shepard in Merrily We Roll Along and received an
Ovation nomination for his performance as Kenneth in Call Me
Madam, both for Reprise! As a concert artist, Hugh has performed
with symphony orchestras across the U.S. and abroad and can be
heard on numerous recordings. Mr. Panaro is one of the few actors
to play both Raoul (1991) and the Phantom (1999) in the Broadway
production of The Phantom of the Opera, but after wearing the mask
for only a few months, he was chosen to play the title role in the
American premiere of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's Martin Guerre . Hugh
is thrilled to be back at The Majestic and dedicates his
performance to the memory of casting director Vinnie Liff.
