Constantine Pappas

Constantine Pappas is a seasoned performer, having entertained all over the US and throughout Europe. He was featured in over 600 performances of the North American tour of The Phantom of the Opera, including playing 41 performances as Raoul, and appeared on Broadway in Harmony: A New Musical, directed by Tony Award winner Warren Carlyle, with music and lyrics by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman. He recently made his Carnegie hall debut alongside Aaron Tveit, featuring brand new music from Broadway conductor and musician Bryan Perri. A versatile artist crossing over from baritone to tenor and from opera to musical theater, he has performed in many productions, including: The Secret Garden (ACT of CT), Master Class(Connecticut Critics Circle Nominee, MTC), Les Misérables (Fox Theatre), Into the Woods (GVT), A Christmas Carol (DCPA, WPPAC), Kismet (dir Lonny Price), Il barbiere di Siviglia, Carmen, A Comedy of Tenors, Pagliacci, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Titanic.

His work with Seven Angels Theatre has spanned many roles, from performing to marketing. He serves as the Director of the Seven Angels High School Halo Awards. He grew the program over the past four years, making it the largest high school theater awards program in Connecticut (with over 100 participating high schools, spanning four nights of awards).

He also brings an extensive media and marketing background, having worked in collaboration with Barnum Financial Group, Dance Molinari and Edge Sound Research. As a longtime member of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Fresno, California, he was instrumental in the strategic planning committee for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco (a plan that now serves 150,000 across seven states). Perhaps his strongest trait is his ability to connect with the members of every community he is in. Constantine is represented by Avalon Artists Group.
