Shrewsbury date for West End star Ramin Karimloo
Ramin Karimloo is one of the West-End’s and Broadway’s most recognisable and acclaimed names, and fans can see him up-close and personal in Shrewsbury this month.
The Laurence Olivier and Tony Award-nominated actor has announced his From Now On tour, named after his version of the powerful song from the Oscar-nominated film The Greatest Showman. The concerts will see Ramin perform well-know numbers from Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera and more musical and contemporary hits.
He will put a fresh twist onto the tracks, and Ramin will be accompanied by his Broadgrass band, a clever mix between Broadway and the bluegrass genre.
The Iranian-born Canadian singer has portrayed leading roles such as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables on Broadway (2014 Tony Award nominee) and London’s West End, as well as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera in London. He also performed in the 25th Anniversary Concert of Phantom of The Opera at The Royal Albert Hall and also originated the leading role in Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom of the Opera, for which he received an Olivier Award nomination.

Ramin released his major label debut album Human Heart in 2012, and three EPs – Within The Six Square Inch (2007), The Road To Find Out: East (2014) and The Road To Find Out: South (2016).
