Peter Lockyer made his Broadway debut at the age of 19 in the Dutch production of Cyrano – The Musical, and has since gone on to play leading roles in some of Broadway’s most popular shows. Peter spent two and a half years in the West End as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables at The Queens Theatre. Peter also starred as Chris in Miss Saigon, both on Broadway and in the first national tour. He was Marius in the 10th-anniversary production of Les Misérables on Broadway and for the China premiere in Shanghai, China, starring Colm Wilkinson. Also on Broadway, Peter played the role of Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s critically acclaimed production of La Bohème. He was featured in Lincoln Center Theater’s revival of South Pacific, which aired on PBS nationally. He was also a longtime cast member of Broadway’s The Phantom of the Opera. In the summer of 2007, Peter had the great honor of being one of four Broadway guest stars for Barbra Streisand in her historical, first European concert tour. In 2008, Peter was nominated for a Connecticut Critics Circle Award for his performance as Tom in The Glass Menagerie at The Ivoryton Playhouse, and won the 2011 award for Best Direction of a play for his production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the same theater. On TV, Peter played Yonkers in the CBS telefilm “Gypsy,” starring Bette Midler. As an avid sports fan, he has enjoyed singing both the American and Canadian national anthems at Major League Baseball games and NFL football games across the U.S. He graduated magna cum laude from New York University, receiving a B.S. in Music Education and Educational Theatre, and added an M.F.A. in Screenwriting and Playwriting from the University of British Columbia.
