Jason Danieley

Jason D. Danieley (born July 13, 1971, St. Louis, Missouri) is an American actor, singer, concert performer and recording artist. He is married to fellow performer, Marin Mazzie.

Ben Brantley, of The New York Times called Danieley "The most exquisite tenor on Broadway". After classical voice training at the University of Missouri and Southern Illinois University,

Danieley left without graduating and at the age of 25 made his Broadway debut in the Harold Prince-directed revival of Candide, as the title character. Prince was quoted in The New York Times as saying "It's unusual in the world of musical theater to find someone who can sing as well as he can act, mark my words: Jason has an extraordinary future ahead of him."

Danieley appeared Off-Broadway in the musical Hit The Lights! in 1993, but gained recognition in 1996 in Floyd Collins, based on the tragedy of caver Floyd Collins, written by Richard Rodgers’s grandson, Adam Guettel. The musical has a mixture of Appalachian and classical music; this was a good vehicle for Danieley's talents, having a classical background, but being raised on old-time, country and gospel music.

Danieley starred in the Broadway musical The Full Monty, which premiered at the Old Globe Theatre, San Diego, California in June to July 2000. The musical opened on Broadway in October 2000. He appeared in the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Curtains on Broadway in 2007. Composer John Kander wrote the song "I Miss The Music" specifically for the character that Danieley played in Curtains.
