Actor Biographies: P

Panaro, Hugh (Raoul, The Phantom) began performing professionally at the age of 13. He made his Broadway debut in Les Misérables as Marius, the role he originated in the first national company. Hugh created the roles of Buddy in Side Show and Julian in Jules Styne's last musical, The Red Shoes. He made his West End debut in the original London company of Harold Prince's Show Boat as Ravenal, the role he played on Broadway and in Toronto. At Avery Fisher Hall, he performed with the Radio City Rockettes in Jerry Herman's Mack and Mabel and also in The Stephen Sondheim Gala, the culmination of the Kennedy Center's "Summer of Sondheim," where Hugh was Anthony Hope in Sweeney Todd. In L.A., Hugh was Franklin Shepard in Merrily We Roll Along and received an Ovation nomination for his performance as Kenneth in Call Me Madam, both for Reprise! As a concert artist, Hugh has performed with symphony orchestras across the U.S. and abroad and can be heard on numerous recordings. Mr. Panaro is one of the few actors to play both Raoul (1991) and the Phantom (1999) in the Broadway production of The Phantom of the Opera, but after wearing the mask for only a few months, he was chosen to play the title role in the American premiere of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's Martin Guerre. Hugh is thrilled to be back at The Majestic and dedicates his performance to the memory of casting director Vinnie Liff.
