Information for Hugh Panaro - Man Without a Mask at Crazy Coqs Cabaret, Inner London (Cabaret). Hugh made his Broadway debut as Marius in the original production of Les Miserables. He also created the roles of Buddy in Side Show, Julian Craster in Jule Styne's The Red Shoes, and the title role in the American premiere of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's Martin Guerre. Hugh was nominated for an Outer Critic Circle Award for his performance in the titular role of Elton John's Lestat, based on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. He made his West End debut in 1998 as Gaylord Ravenal in the London company of Harold Prince's Showboat, a role he previously played on Broadway. HUGH PANARO - Man Without A Mask is a highly personal scrapbook of a life and career,  taking you backstage, into dressing rooms and right to the heart of Broadway by one of its biggest stars. It features songs and plenty of stories from all the blockbusters he's known for… and even some shows he wasn't in, including playing The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera  and, before that, Raoul - cast in both roles by the show's legendary original director, Hal Prince. A rare distinction.
