The Phantom of the Opera’s Jeremy Stolle: No More Talk of Darkness
Jeremy Stolle spent 15 years on Broadway in The Phantom of the Opera, and he loves its music dearly. Still, for his concert, he has chosen the title, “No More Talk of Darkness,” which is the start of the ‘Phantom’ song, “All I Ask of You.” He has selected the title for a reason. “I’ve been ‘Phantom’ for over a decade,” he said some years ago. “It’s a very specific type of music and we’ll give them all the favorites, but this is a fun and uplifting show. We have a good time and we try to throw a Broadway singing party that’s a lot of fun. There are great vocals and my band is out-of-sight. We have a piano, bass and drum and three singers.” Of course, ‘Phantom’ is well-represented, and you can feel free to sigh at “Music of the Night.” There’s also “Big Spender,” from Sweet Charity, “Waving Through a Window,” from Dear Evan Hansen, “This is the Moment,” from Jekyll & Hyde, “The Impossible Dream” from The Man of La Mancha, and songs from Hamilton and Les Mis.
