HEAR THE BUZZ…
“My friend, and an enormous talent as an actor, and a singer… Look out, showbiz. Here comes Nicolas King!”
Liza minnelli
“A compact dynamo, a whirlwind of a performer who balances incredible excitement and high energy with restraint and nuance. He gets the crowd in his pocket within the first 30 seconds of walking out on stage and keeps them there for the rest of the night.” – Will Friedwald, Wall Street Journal
“This kid is amazing!”
carol burnett
“A phenomenal actor, a true pleasure to work with.” – Hal Prince
“When I first saw Nicolas King ‘live’ on stage, I was immediately captured by his joie de vivre and enthusiastic performance… the envy of a many seasoned performer.”
connie francis
“Riveting performances…my candidate for superstardom this decade!” – Joe Franklin, Bloomberg Radio
“Nicolas is a consummate performer and a singer for the ages- one of the most versatile that I know. He can swing, and he can break your heart… effortlessly. Once you hear Nick sing, you’ll be a lifelong fan, just as I am.”
clint holmes
“He really is one of the best. He is talented, he is individual, he is smart, he is special, and he is an artist with an eye on the stories he tells and how he wants to tell them… He can be swinging, he can be crooning, he can be scatting, or he can just be standing at the mic, feeling his way through the tenderest, quietest ballad you’ve ever heard almost-whispered so sweetly, and there can always be a reasonable expectation of greatness. Whatever task he sets himself, he achieves.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World
NEW single,
“I Remember You”,
featuring the legendary Mike Renzi, now available on all streaming platforms!
