Following his performances at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in the Tony Award®-
winning Broadway hit Dear Evan Hansen, Aaron Lazar returns as Aaron Lazar in his cabaret show
Broadway to Hollywood April 11–13, 2019 at 7:30 pm in Samueli Theater. A critically acclaimed actor and
singer on stage and screen, Lazar was called Broadway’s “Hunky Heartthrob” by The Cabaret, Indianapolis.
Described by the Associated Press as a “vocal powerhouse,” Lazar’s show follows his expansive stage-to-screen career with songs from his many Broadway credits (including The Last Ship and A Little Night Music
among others), a medley of film and musical theatre classics, and more.
Aaron Lazar has starred in 11 Broadway shows and is touring the country as Larry Murphy in the Tony
Award® smash hit musical Dear Evan Hansen, including this past January’s engagement at Segerstrom
Center for the Arts. His Broadway debut was in The Phantom of the Opera and his breakout with Lincoln
Center’s production of The Light in the Piazza, both of which were broadcast live on PBS. Other Broadway
credits include Oklahoma! (with the late Patti Duke), Les Misérables (Drama Desk Award nomination),
Impressionism (opposite Jeremy Irons and Joan Allen), A Tale of Two Cities (world premiere), Mamma Mia,
A Little Night Music (opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury) and Sting’s musical, The Last
Ship.
On film, Lazar has worked for acclaimed directors Clint Eastwood in J. Edgar, Mary Harron in The Notorious
Bettie Page, Shawn Levy in This is Where I Leave You (opposite Tina Fey), and Martin Scorsese in The Wolf
of Wallstreet.
And on TV … Lazar is on Season 3 of FX’s The Strain and Season 2 of ABC’s Quantico. Other TV credits
include more than a dozen guest star appearances for all the major TV networks, including NBC’s The
Blacklist, CBS’ Blue Bloods and The Good Wife, FOX’s The Following, Disney’s Girl Meets World, and
rugged reporter O’Brady Shaw on IFC’s hilarious The Onion News Network.
In addition to his Broadway and musical theatre work, Lazar has been a guest artist with many of the world’s
most prestigious symphonies, including The New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall (opposite Neil
Patrick Harris, Patti Lupone, and Stephen Colbert), The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, The National
Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center, The Boston Pops at Tanglewood, The Jerusalem Symphony
Orchestra at Masada, The English National Opera Orchestra on the West End in London and The Hollywood
Bowl Orchestra (opposite Brian Stokes Mitchell and Reba McEntire).
Lazar grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ and was an athlete and performer in high school. While at Duke University
studying to be a doctor, he got cast as Billy Bigelow in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel. That’s when
he started dreaming of a career on Broadway and beyond. Today, he works with some of the most talented
people in the world. It is his life’s passion is to share the arts with audiences worldwide.
