Gregg Edelman shares life on Broadway
Award-winning actor and singer Gregg Edelman will share stories about life on and off the Broadway stage when he performs at the Crazy Coqs, next week.
The Jewish performer, who is a four-time Tony Award nominee, made his debut on Broadway in the 1979 production of Evita and went on to star in a string of shows from Cats to Anything Goes, as well as the starring role in the Best Musical of 1990, City of Angels.
Regarded as one of the most romantic Broadway leads of his generation, the Chicago-born talent originated the role of Colonel Ricci in Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning musical Passion and as Prince Charming in Into The Woods.
Other memorable roles include Sweeney in Sweeny Todd, Javert in Les Miserables and Dr Alexandre Manette in A Tale of Two Cities.
The 54-year-old performer lives in New Jersey with his actress wife Carolee Carmello, their daughter Zoe and son Ethan.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
