Pedro Ruy-Blas (b. July 7, 1949[1]) is a Spanish singer, drummer, composer, and actor, notable for his work in musical theater. Born Pedro Ample, he changed his last name to honor the Victor Hugo play Ruy Blas.[2] In 1965 he became lead singer of the Madrid pop-rock band Los Grimm.

In 1984 he began his career as an actor in musical theater playing Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar.[4] In 1991 he played the role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables in 546 performances in Spain.[5] In 1994 he appeared with Ana Belén in the musical La bella Helena, based on the opera of the same name by Offenbach. Shortly after, he appeared at the Nuevo Apolo theater in Madrid in La Maja de Goya by Fernando Arbex and Vicente Escrivá, playing the role of Francisco de Goya.
