As his bio reads, Brian Noonan “has starred on Broadway and National Touring Companies as The Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, Enjolras in Les Miserables, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde, Cable in South Pacific with the legendary Robert Goulet, Gus/Growltiger in Cats, and Jesus Christ Superstar. As an international concert soloist, Mr. Noonan has performed for a myriad of Presidents and world dignitaries.”

He is now the founder and managing director of The Jersey Tenors, the newest Opera/Rock Mash-up sensation. The Tenors create an explosive blend of iconic Opera classics alongside Rock n’ Roll greats like Queen, Elton John, and Bon Jovi- to name a few. But they never forget their Jersey roots, highlighting Jersey legends like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons of course, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen and even Ms. Whitney Houston herself.

Jersey Arts speaks with Brian Noonan about what it takes to be a Jersey Tenor ahead of their Bubbly Bash at the Surflight Theatre on New Year’s Eve.
