Ramin Karimloo
Called “a global actor for a global time,” by The New York Times, the Iranian-born, Canadian-raised Tony & Olivier Award nominated actor and singer has taken the West End and Broadway by storm with stand-out performances in the most iconic roles in musical theater, as well as nuanced characterizations in new and surprising pieces of theater. He most recently starred on Broadway in the revival of Funny Girl as Nick Arnstein and just completed a run at the Young Vic in London starring in A Face in the Crowd. Previous Broadway includes originating the role of Gleb in Anastasia, and Jean Valjean in the revival of Les Miserables which garnered Karimloo his first Tony Award nomination. Entertainment Weekly said, “the revelation is Ramin Karimloo, who projects a masculine authority that cannily reveals hidden pockets of vulnerability. He's blessed with matinee-idol looks and a crystalline tenor that pierces the back rows of the theatre. With apologies to Hugh Jackman, his may be the best sung, best acted Valjean I've ever seen.” In the West End, Ramin rose to fame in starring roles in both of the West End's longest running musicals: Les Misérables, where he's played Jean Valjean, Enjolras and Marius; and The Phantom of the Opera, where he played Raoul and The Phantom. Ramin was then hand-picked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to originate the lead role of The Phantom in Love Never Dies, the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. For his performance, he was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for 'Best Actor in a Musical' among many more accolades. Additional stage credits include Tom in Murder Ballad (West End), Che in Evita (Vancouver Opera), Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar (Japan), Archibald Craven in The Secret Garden (Lincoln Center), Anatoly in Chess (Kennedy Center) and White Rabbit Red Rabbit in NYC. Ramin played the role of Enjolras in the PBS filmed 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2 of Les Misérables, which is one of the most widely viewed shows in the history of PBS. Karimloo has performed with Barbra Streisand in Hyde Park; toured the world performing solo concerts, and with his band and has released solo albums on Sony Records: Human Heart and From Now On; and independently The Road to Find Out: East, South, North and West. Ramin starred for two seasons on the long-running BBC series Holby City, in the Paralysis Productions feature film Bound; the musical feature film Tomorrow Morning opposite Sam Barks and next up will be recurring in Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple TV (starring Jon Hamm) premiering in 2025.
