today, their stories will charm their way into anyone’s heart.
Sometimes passionate, sometimes funny and always entertaining,
BROADWAY HEROES features David Rogers-Canada’s most accomplished leading man and original star of The Phantom
of the Opera- as he honours the legendary heroes of Camelot,
Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma, and Man of La Mancha
to name a few.
With all your classic Broadway favourites, this journey through song
and laughter will leave you breathless as you dare to dream
“The Impossible Dream” and relive “The Music of the Night”.

"This show is so fast paced and full of switches that it’ll make your head spin.
Rogers is one of the most high-quality, versatile performers you could ever hope to see on a stage and this show had more variety in it than any other one-person show I've ever seen…What amazes is that he's completely believable in the comedy as well as the drama. Rogers runs the gamut of doing shtick one minute, and in the next he's pouring his heart out in one of the big songs from Phantom of the Opera.”
-Kitchener-Waterloo Record
“Anyone who loves the Broadway musical, and in particular its wonderful legacy of songs, should hurry to Broadway Heroes.
Rogers not only looks like an angel, he sings like one too. Whether he's clowning through a medley of name songs extolling the charms of Mame, Dolly and Rose Marie, or leaning into the passionate wail of that quintessential theatre anthem The Impossible Dream, Rogers makes miraculous music. When he lets go with those glorious pipes this Broadway heartthrob connects with the very soul of everything he sings. …Charm you see, is a commodity in short supply these days, particularly in the theatre, so when it comes along it really ought to be embraced.”
-The Hamilton Spectator
"David Rogers has an incredible voice which echoes brilliantly around the theatre, giving audiences that feeling
each song is for them."
-Guelph Mercury
"A fine voice, a smooth manner and an ability to move with ease makes him an ideal leading man for any presentation."
-Daily News Extra
"His passion for music shines through, with the audience being swept away on the more emotional songs.”
