NICOLAS KING has been performing since he was 4 years old. Having been in 3 Broadway productions before the age of 12 is no small feat. Aside from appearing opposite Tom Selleck in “A Thousand Clowns", and Carol Burnett's "Hollywood Arms" directed by Hal Prince, he was Broadway’s longest running Chip in Disney’s “Beauty and The Beast”. King has also appeared in dozens of national TV commercials, including his award winning 'Oscar Mayer Lunchables' commercial. On TV, King has appeared on "The View", "The Today Show", "Sally Jesse Raphael", “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, and twice on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno (including Leno's final week as host in 2014). He has released 4 studio albums, and his latest album, "Act One - Celebrating 25 Years of Recordings", features collaborations with Jane Monheit, Norm Lewis, hit-maker Charles Calello, and longtime musical director Mike Renzi. He performed on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon for 8 consecutive years live in Las Vegas, originated the voice of "Oscar" on Discovery Kids' "Kenny The Shark" and is the recipient of the 1995 and 1996 Talent America Award, 2010 Julie Wilson Award, 2015 AMG Award for Artist of the Year, the 2012 Bistro Award for 'Outstanding Performer of the Year', the 2019 Legends Award for his contribution to the preservation of the Great American Songbook, and the 2020 BroadwayWorld Award for Best Swing Act. Nicolas has worked, performed and collaborated alongside artists as Neil Simon, Tony Danza, Andrea McArdle, Jack Jones, Lainie Kazan, Rita Rudner, Faith Prince, Billy Paul, Jennifer Holliday, Debby Boone, and Linda Lavin among many others. He performed alongside his mentor, the legendary Liza Minnelli, starring when he was 11 years old as her opening act from 2002-2012, touring all over the country. King has performed concerts from Las Vegas to London, and on many iconic stages including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Birdland, Ronnie Scott’s, 54 Below, Joe’s Pub, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and aboard Silversea, Vacaya, and Crystal Cruises.
