Ethan Daniel Freeman (born March 8, 1959 in Mount Vernon, New York) is an American musical actor.[1]

Life[edit]

Freeman studied at Yale University and at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.

Freeman, whose musical background is actually in opera, has been active in Europe since 1981. Important roles in his career include Luigi Lucheni (Elisabeth, Vienna 1992, director: Harry Kupfer), as well as Kurt Korn (Finix, Vienna 2003) and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood – Für Liebe und Gerechtigkeit, Bremen 2005). He has also played the titular role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (Vienna 1988, London 1994, Toronto 1997, and Essen 2006) over a thousand times to great success.[2] He was a favorite of Hal Prince who championed him for the West End production, and he was voted as the third most beloved Phantom in the West End in 1996.[3] He also had great success in the demanding double role as the titular character in Jekyll & Hyde (Bremen 1999).[4] For his performance in that production, he was presented with the golden key to the town as well as an Ethan Freeman rose and his handprints on the walk of fame.[5][6]

Ethan was the first actor in Europe to perform the role of the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.[7]

In addition appearing in musicals, Freeman sings as a soloist in concerts and television shows. He has performed in ten countries, including New York City's Carnegie Hall and London's Last Night of the Proms [8]. Freeman sang various programs on gala tours of Europa and regularly sings in musicals on summer nights in Dinslaken. In May 2007 his first solo program Is This Home? premiered in Oberhausen.

Between 1994 and 1999 Ethan appeared in several BBC productions, including the lead of Haj the Poet in an all-star production of Kismet and various appearances in Night of the Proms.[9][10]

He is married to musical actress Monika-Julia Dehnert.
