What happens when a Broadway leading man steps out of character and into his own story? On October 24, 2025, An Evening with Nick Cartell & Friends invites audiences to find out—live and in person at the Herberger Theater Center.
Best known for his towering portrayal of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables—a role he’s performed over 1,000 times—Nick Cartell is more than a powerhouse voice. He’s a Phoenix native, a former local theater kid, and an artist shaped as much by home as by the spotlight. In this intimate one-night-only event, he returns to the very stage where his story began to share not just the songs that made him, but the moments.
Through a mix of Broadway favorites, Disney gems, jazz classics, and original music from his debut album, Cartell offers a rare glimpse into life behind the curtain. From his early performances at the Herberger Theater with Valley Youth Theatre to national tours and standing ovations across the country, this evening weaves together music and memory in a way only a true storyteller can.
Joined by special guests, Nick reflects on his journey with honesty, humor, and unmistakable heart. This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of where dreams begin, and a reminder that behind every star is a story worth telling.
