Broadway star Nick Cartell, currently touring as Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables,” is a Valley Youth Theatre alum and will return to town to perform for one night only.

Since leaving Phoenix, Cartell has starred on Broadway and national tours such as “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Scandalous.”

On Friday, Oct. 24, Cartell will return to the Herberger Theater stage for the first time since he performed with Valley Youth Theatre in “West Side Story” for a one-night only show. He will share stories from his career and from growing up and performing in the Valley as well as singing original songs, Broadway hits, and pop hits.

"VYT gave me the foundation of my theatre training and set me up for a long career that I'm happy to say I'm still building on,” Cartell shared in a press release. “I have lifelong friends and so many fond memories of my years performing on the stages of VYT. To be a part of such an amazing organization that supports and champions the theatrical lives of young people on and off the stage is incredible. I'm living proof that supporting the arts can have a lasting impact in the lives of children."

“An Evening With Nick Cartell & Friends” will also include familiar Valley names like Mark Fearey, Stephanie Likes, Kristen Drathman, and Rusty Ferracane.
