and Tami Tappan for an evening of favorite show tunes and
standards. Including hits from “Phantom of the Opera,”
“Les Misérables,” “The Music Man,”

Tony Award winner Michael Maguire, a for
his role in “Les Misérables,” took New
York by storm with his spellbinding debut performance as the
revolutionary Enjolras (landing on the cover of Newsweek)
and won virtually every major theater award that season. He
recreated this role at the Royal Albert Hall in London as
a member of the “Dream Cast” celebrating the 10th
anniversary of “Les Miz,” a concert that has been
broadcast nationally on PBS and around the world. A singer
of unparalleled range, he has performed with major symphonies
and opera companies throughout the country. At the New York
City Opera he starred as Count Carl Magnus in “A Little
Night Music” which was subsequently broadcast on PBS.
He has sung extensively with over 120 symphony orchestras
nationwide, including the Cleveland, Minnesota, Kansas City,
St. Louis, Buffalo, Columbus, Seattle, Utah and National symphonies.
He starred nationally in musicals including “Carousel,”
“Brigadoon,” “Kismet,” “Annie
Get Your Gun,” Side by Side,” “110 in the
Shade” and “Showboat.” He teamed up with
fellow Tony winner Debbie Gravitte to create their critically
acclaimed show “Direct from Broadway,” which debuted
at the Kennedy Center in Washington, and has toured nationally
including an appearance on Cal State Fullerton’s 1994-95
PAIR Celebrity Series.
Tami Tappan has appeared as soloist in “The
Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber” with both Michael Crawford
and Sarah Brightman. She starred in the role of Ellen in the
Los Angeles production of “Miss Saigon” and repeated
this role on Broadway, where she also appeared as Roxanne
in “Cyrano.” Her regional credits include “Hello
Again” (Blank Theatre Company), “Blame it on the
Movies” (Pasadena Playhouse) and “Baby”
and “Bells are Ringing” (Music Theatre Guild).
On television she has been seen in “Third Rock from
the Sun,” “The Good Doctor,” “The
Paul Fleiss Story” and “Sunset Beach.” She
