Alex Santoriello visited Barbados, for several seasons,
starring in "Broadway to Barbados", during the Gold Cup Festival.
Last year, local circumstances caused Alex to relocate from his home
in York City, temporarily placing his Broadway career on hold.
Alex owns and operates Alexico Limited, a local company that provides
a multitude of services, including entertainment, communications and
pilot flight training.
In addition to serving as GetBak's lead vocalist he regularly performs
a program of blues, jazz, standards and Broadway tunes at a few select
hotels and private functions around the island.
For the past two decades Alex performed and worked on Broadway and
across North America with, and for, Sir Tim Rice, Sir Trevor Nunn,
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cameron Macintosh, Sting, Michael Crawford,
Colm Wilkinson, Richard Kiley, Maureen McGovern, Georgia Brown and
many others.
Alex has performed for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings, Queens,
etc. He created roles in three original Broadway companies including
LES MISERABLES, CHESS and THREE PENNY OPERA and starred in more than
a dozen other major productions including CATS, EVITA, J.C. SUPERSTAR,
MAN OF LA MANCHA, CAMELOT AND CAROUSEL.
Alex has made several films including FAR FROM HEAVEN, starring Julianne
Moore and Dennis Quaid, which was nominated for many academy awards
this year.
He was featured on the soap operas, ALL MY CHILDREN and LOVING. Although
Alex's opera career was short lived, he won the prestigious NATS award in
1979 and starred with the Bergen Opera in Norway. He has recorded more than
a dozen Broadway and other albums.
On Alex's York City horizon is the starring role in the musical A TLE OF
TWO CITIES, when it comes to Broadway in 2004.
