Events Description
Broadway & The Bard combines two of Cariou’s lifelong loves – Shakespeare and musical comedy. Giving life to an idea he’s harboured since his Broadway debut in 1969, the show cleverly and candidly weaves Cariou’s personal reflections on his 50-year career between beloved showtunes and Shakespearean soliloquies.
“Mr. Cariou’s delivery of his Shakespearean set pieces is exemplary, across a broad range of emotional territory. His Iago has a nice subtly seething quality; his Petruchio a swagger, humor and a smidgen of sensitivity; his Benedick a bruised braggadocio. The songs that follow the verse are sometimes chosen to illuminate the feeling in the words, sometimes to offer a kind of riposte,” New York Times’ Charles Isherwood writes.
In addition to his recurring leading role on hit series Blue Bloods, which just renewed for its 10th season, Cariou is also is a three-time Tony Award nominee and Tony Award winner (Best Actor) for his legendary performance as the title character in the original casting of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street – which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. He is a distinguished member of the Theatre Hall of Fame and was named as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2018 for his achievements as an actor of stage and screen.
