Nicolas King & Seth Sikes joined forces in October of 2022, and took the cabaret world by storm with their duo act, “The New Belters”. A one-night-only concert in New York City turned into an international tour of dates from Los Angeles to West Palm Beach, Palm Springs to Chicago, San Fransisco to St. Louis. The duo has also appeared in Boston, Carmel IN, Boca Raton FL, Provincetown, Fire Island, Puerto Vallarta, Montreal, San Miguel de Allende, Key Largo, among many other cities and aboard Vacaya Cruises.
The swinging American Songbook is the specialty of these performers, and the pair pays tribute to the show-stopping stars who paved the way before them, such as Sammy Davis Jr., Anthony Newley, Eydie Gormé, Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, Barbra Streisand and more! Nicolas and Seth carry the torch from these legendary performers and the great songwriters who wrote so many of their hits.
King is an award-winning artist who’s been ‘belting’ out tunes since he was 4-years-old, having been seen in dozens of TV commercials, and numerous times on Broadway opposite Tom Selleck, Carol Burnett, Linda Lavin and Andrea McArdle. King was the longest running “Chip” in Disney’s Beauty And The Beast. He toured the country as Liza Minnelli’s opening act, and has performed on stages all over the world from Carnegie Hall to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Sikes is one of New York City’s most popular nightclub singers. His critically-acclaimed tributes to Judy Garland (which won a Broadway World Award), Liza Minnelli, and Bernadette Peters are a consistent draw for audiences around the world. The hardworking Sikes, a native of Texas, was also Associate Director on the multiple Tony-award winning musical The Band’s Visit.
Under the batons of their musical directors (Billy Stritch, Glen Kelly, Michael Orland, Mark Hartman) Seth Sikes and Nicolas King deliver a powerhouse performance that captures the glitter and magic of the New York nightclub scene of long ago, and bring it into the next generation!
“Nicolas King and Seth Sikes have found, have made, have presented the best versions of themselves. Both gentlemen extremely successful solo artists who still work the solo show circuit, they have hit upon some magic formula, some unfathomable chemistry, and some of the greatest harmonies in the free world by becoming a duo act. Every song sung sounded like the best thing you’ve ever heard. Every arrangement, every parody lyric, every medley (all created by The New Belters, themselves) is a work of art. Every moment of the show is a slick, polished, professional piece of perfection. Whatever these gentlemen were doing before they formed this partnership happily informs this production from tip to tail. And what a production this is… ‘The New Belters’ is the duo show we have been waiting for. Thank goodness Sikes and King found each other, for this is their time.”
