Brad Little

Brad is a native Californian raised in Redlands. Mr. Little has played the role of the Phantom over 2000 times in theaters across America, on Broadway, and in Asia since 1997. Within the past few years he has had the privilege to perform with many wonderful Symphony Orchestras around the world. He and maestro Donald Pippin did Brad's solo Broadway Concert with the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra in the spring of 2001. It was such a hit he came back the very next year, with soloist Christiane Noll. Brad and Christiane teamed up again in a Bravo Broadway concert with the Orchestra Symphonic of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro and for a New Year’s Eve concert with the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra. In May of 2005 Brad sang in the “Night of 1000 Voices” concert in London England.  He was honored when asked by Marvin Hamlisch to perform with him and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as well as the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
 Other Symphony Orchestras Brad has performed with are: Oregon, Seattle, Indianapolis and also with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for the Pops Goes British. But none of these concerts would have come to fruition without his fortunate career in Musical Theatre. For 4 1/2 years Brad played the man behind the mask in the road company of The Phantom of the Opera. While on the road he cut his first CD, Brad Little UnMasked. At the time Mr. Little was asked to join The Phantom of the Opera touring company, he was performing at the Majestic Theatre playing the role of Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera Broadway production. His other Broadway and National tour credits include: Cyrano, the Musical, playing the role of Captain De Castel Jaloux; Fiddler on the Roof, with Topol; the Lincoln Center production of Anything Goes directed by Jerry Zaks, in which he understudied and played the role of Billy Crocker opposite Leslie Uggams. New York Times head theater critic, Ben Brantley, gave Brad a rave review for his portrayal of Willy in I Married an Angel written by Rodger and Hart in New York City. Brad won international acclaim for his portrayal of Jesus in the European Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, and Tony in West Side Story.

Little. If you would like more information about Mr. Little, (reviews, comments from the public...) you can log on to his web site www.bradlittle.com.
