A Star-Studded Emcee: The Journey of Jeremiah James
Jeremiah James is no stranger to the spotlight. His career spans both sides of the Atlantic, from Broadway to the West End, and his versatility as a performer, writer, and producer has earned him international recognition.
James first turned heads when he became one of the youngest performers ever nominated for a Los Angeles Theater Ovation Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical, recognized for his role as Bobby Child in Crazy for You. His career quickly took flight, leading him to iconic roles overseas. In London’s West End, he starred as Curly in Cameron Mackintosh’s revival of Oklahoma! and as Billy Bigelow in the pre-West End tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel.
Back in New York, James captivated audiences Off-Broadway in the long-running hit The Fantasticks, where he played the enigmatic El Gallo, as well as in the new musical Sweetee. His resume also includes work as producer and book writer for the original 2018 West End musical It Happened in Key West—a unique blend of romance and dark comedy that further showcased his creative range. Most recently, James was part of Broadway’s 2022 revival of Funny Girl, where he stood by for the role of Nick Arnstein.
As if his stage accomplishments weren’t enough, James is also a founding member of the vocal group Teatro, whose self-titled debut album went gold in the UK. Teatro’s performances have taken them to international stages, including the prestigious 2007 Royal Variety Performance before Queen Elizabeth II.
