Danny Zolli
Although Danny is renowned around the globe as vocal powerhouse with an enormous vocal range and the ability to sing everything from Broadway to razor-sharp Rock & Roll, Danny is probably best known for his monumental number of performances, and record breaking number of productions as Jesus, Judas, and Annas in more than 26 productions of Jesus Christ Superstar throughout the world.
On Broadway, the 20th Anniversary National Tour, as well as the 25th Anniversary North American Resurrection Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar with Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Irene Cara, Syreeta Wright & Dennis DeYoung, Danny not only won audience, and critical acclaim for his menacing portrayal of The High Priest Annas, but also for his poignant work in understudying and frequently performing the roles of both Jesus and Judas. Danny also starred as Jesus in the 30th Anniversary concert of Jesus Christ Superstar, along side original JCSS Broadway & film stars Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, Barry Dennen as Pontius Pilate, and lyricist Sir Tim Rice.
As Judas Iscariot, Danny starred in the most recent Broadway Tour, the first two major European touring productions of the Webber/Rice classic, as well as at The Actors Playhouse in Miami and at Austin's Musical Theater in Texas. As Jesus, Danny starred in heralded productions at New Hampshire's Palace Theater, West Virginia's Public Theater, Virginia's Potomac State Theater, as well as in multiple productions and concerts with A2Z Theatrical Productions of Rhode Island and New York's Leftfield Productions.
Some of his many regional theater credits include playing Che' in Evita, the title role in Candide, Tobias in Sweeney Todd, Danny in Baby, the quirky F/X Fitzterwald in the Broadway bound production of Starmites, as well as starring as Joseph in the Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center's critically acclaimed production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, for which Danny received a Barrymore Award nomination for Best Actor. He starred as The Arbiter in both the recent BC/EFA concerts of Chess at the John Houseman Theater in New York City, as well as the concert production mounted by New York's Leftfield and Norse Productions.
