On Friday, October 24 at 7:30 PM, Broadway powerhouse and Phoenix native Nick Cartell returns to the city where his journey began for An Evening with Nick Cartell & Friends—a heartfelt night of music, storytelling, and celebration.
Cartell, best known for his critically acclaimed turn as Jean Valjean in the national tour of Les Misérables, has performed the iconic role more than 1,000 times. But long before his name lit up marquees across the country, Cartell stood on the Herberger stage in a production of West Side Story. This one-night-only concert brings his story full circle.
Between tour stops, Cartell is taking time to share a more personal side of his artistry. Featuring selections from his debut solo album, the evening will blend Broadway favorites, Disney classics, jazz standards, and more—offering a wide-ranging glimpse into the music that shaped his life. Alongside special guests, Cartell will reflect on growing up in Phoenix, chasing his dreams, and the unforgettable highs and humbling lessons of a life onstage.
In addition to Les Misérables, Cartell’s Broadway and national tour credits include Jesus Christ Superstar and Scandalous, and his powerful tenor has captivated audiences coast to coast. This fall, he brings that same passion home.
Whether you’re a longtime Broadway fan, a fellow Phoenician, or someone who simply loves a great story told through song, An Evening with Nick Cartell & Friends promises something rare: a chance to witness a hometown star, at the height of his career, return to the place where it all began.
