Jérôme Pradon is an French actor and singer who has performed in the West End, in Paris and in various other places around the world. He was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France on 3 June 1964.
In 1991, Jérôme made his musical debut in Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's Les Misérables as Marius at the Theatre Mogador, Paris. It was this show that started his love for musical theatre, which led onto his first West End appearance; playing the role of Chris in Miss Saigon (1992–93). Next, was another debut, this time Toronto, Canada, where he originated the title role of Napoleon (1994).
In 1995, travelling back and forth between France and England, Jérôme performed in several productions including La Java des Mémoires, directed by the much loved director Roger Louret and Assassins by Stephen Sondheim. Later that year he played the role of student revolutionary Courfeyrac as part of the ‘dream cast’ in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Misérables.
Remaining in London, Jérôme created the role of Guillaume in the Olivier Award winning production Martin Guerre, which made him the first actor to have performed major roles in all three Boublil and Schonberg musicals. After Martin Guerre came Maury Yeston's Nine at the Folies Bergère, where Jérôme played Guido Contini, the sole male role.
In 1998, Jérôme performed in Killing Rasputin, and in 2000 performed in Black Goes with Everything (a show celebrating the talent of Don Black) and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Whistle Down the Wind where he played the role of The Man alongside Laura Michelle Kelly as Swallow. In 2000, he also appeared in the role of Judas in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, opposite Glenn Carter as Jesus. This production is available on DVD.
