Event Details

Soaring musical theater favorites and heart-tugging Irish melodies with Dublin-born Ciarán Sheehan, who starred in the title role in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway.

Ciarán Sheehan, born in Dublin, Ireland, made his Broadway debut in “Les Miserables” (Babet, Marius), and shortly thereafter Harold Prince cast Ciarán as Raoul in “The Phantom of the Opera.” After a year of playing Raoul on Broadway, Ciarán then starred in the coveted role of The Phantom. Sheehan sang the role of the Phantom in over 1,000 performances during the course of two and a half years both on Broadway and in Toronto.
