Constantine Maroulis: Night At
Constantine Maroulis is currently staring on Broadway in the 2009 Tony Award Nominated Best Musical, ROCK OF AGES,
and received a best actor Tony nomination for his role as Drew. The
critics agree that ROCK OF AGES struck gold with Constantine.
Constantine helped make American Idol's Season 4 one of the most
memorable to date. His delivery of the Queen classic "Bohemian
Rhapsody" electrified audiences and became that year's must see
performance and caught the attention of Brian May, who personally asked
him to sing the song on the "Killer Queen" Tribute CD (Hollywood
Records). In addition to headlining the Idol's sold out Live Summer
Tour with that year's winner Carrie Underwood, Constantine has
continued to tour extensively around the country solo since the show.
However Idol wasn't his first stage experience, having graduated The
Boston Conservatory and apprenticed at the The Williamstown Theatre
Festival in 2002, Maroulis had performed in several productions prior
to landing the lead role of Roger in the national tour of the hit
musical RENT just before making it as a finalist on Idol and beating
out millions of hopefuls auditioning.
Maroulis made his Broadway debut in the Tony Nominated 2007 production
of "Wedding Singer" and after quickly followed up co-starring in Off
Broadway's critically acclaimed production of
"Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris." Television came
back into his life with CBS's "The Bold and The Beautiful," in a role
specially created for him and based in part off his real life.
The show featured new songs from his debut album "Constantine" which he
was released last year on his very own Record Label, "Sixth Place
Records" via (SONY/Red) to critical acclaim.
Prior to that his version of "My Funny Valentine" helped make the CD,
American Idol "The Showstoppers" RIAA Certified Gold (RCA).
Constantine is currently developing new material for a future release.

Ellen, The Today Show, Howard Stern, Fox n' Friends, Regis & Kelly,
Mike & Juliet, MTV and many more. He has also served as Co-Host on
