Imagine Neil Diamond meets the Phantom of the Opera, and you have Singer/Actor Philip Paul Kelly. He made his theater debut at 14 and has gone on to star and co-star in national tours of some of Broadway’s biggest shows, including Titanic and Camelot. He has appeared in regional productions of Elf The Musical, 1776, A Christmas Carol, The Full Monty, Jekyll & Hyde, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, and La Cage Aux Folles. Other notable performances include the workshop and concert of Ragtime on Ellis Island as Admiral Peary with Brian Stokes Mitchell, Georgia Engel, Brandon Victor Dixon, Michael Park, and Laura Michelle Kelly.

Eddie Star (Eddie Star & The Zero Effect, JoyBox) signed Kelly to his label Ton-Up Records in 2022 and released his first single, ‘Savior.’ Now Philip brings his vocal talent to the Roy Orbison classic ‘Only the Lonely,’ to be released April 25th. This quote by Eddie Star probably sums up Philip Paul Kelly best, “Philip has the gift of drawing the listener in emotionally and making his audience feel the song. He sings straight from the heart”.
