His compositions, often categorized as Classical, Christian, and New Age, have garnered over 3 billion lifetime streams and have earned him a position as one of the most listened-to recording artists of our time.Early Life and Health StrugglesPaul's music is deeply personal, born out of a life marked by resilience and compassion. He was born with a congenital heart condition, essentially having half a heart. His infancy was marked by numerous surgeries to save his life, and this pattern of hospital visits and surgeries continued throughout his life. In 2009, he received a life-saving heart transplant, an experience that profoundly influenced his music and purpose.Paul's own struggles with chronic illness have fueled his commitment to creating music that serves as a source of healing, both physically and emotionally, for himself and others.Musical Journey and AchievementsIn 1999, Paul founded Stone Angel Music, an independent record label aimed at producing, marketing, and distributing his recordings. His music gained significant recognition when he signed a multi-album deal with Narada, an affiliate of Virgin Records. Notably, his album "The Christmas Box" debuted at #22 on Billboard's New Age Chart.Over the years, Paul has released a string of successful albums, including "Primary Worship," "The Hymns Collection," "Living for Eden," and "New Life," many of which have secured top positions on the Billboard charts.Paul's collaborative efforts with Grammy-winning artists such as CeCe Winans and Rachel Yamagata have further solidified his place in the music industry. His dedication extends beyond music, with involvement in charitable causes, scholarships for students affected by medical bills associated with congenital heart disease, and collaborations with organizations like Operation Underground Railroad.Legacy and "Return Home"In September 2019, Paul released "Peaceful Piano," an album of improvised piano solos reflecting on his decade surviving with a donor heart. This marked a turning point in his creative process, inspiring him to record a series of improvisational pieces reflecting on his European heritage and ancestry.The resulting album, "Return Home," is a profoundly introspective work featuring 13 pieces for piano. The unique aspect of this album lies in the fact that Paul entered the studio without any preconceived material, allowing the music to flow organically. The pieces take listeners on a cinematic journey through the lands of his ancestors, incorporating various musical styles and influences that pay homage to his heritage.Paul Cardall's musical journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the ability of music to heal and connect us to our roots.Conclusion and Continued PhilanthropyApart from his musical endeavors, Paul continues to be actively involved in philanthropy, partnering with organizations like The Ryan Seacrest Foundation to provide keyboards to children's hospitals and establishing scholarships for students affected by congenital heart disease.For more about Paul Cardall and his musical journey, visit Paul Cardall's official website.

Cast member Susan B. Russell introduces audiences to the corporate world of Phantom, as dictated by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, the producer, specifically creation under the confines of recreation and the effect this philosophy had on performers in a post-Phantom world, with a first hand account of how the corporation handled the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.  Susan Russell is an Associate Professor in the School of Theatre at The Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate literature/criticism, and Playwriting.

There aren't many choreographers in the musical theatre industry who have had as much success as Stephen Mear CBE. Since the late 1990s, Stephen Mear's helped reshape some of the Musical Theatre's most beloved works such as 'Anything Goes', 'Gypsy' and 'Sweet Charity' into pieces for today's audiences. Along the way, he has also brought home 3 Olivier Awards as well as developed a reputation for being one of the West End's most revered choreographers. Since his debut, Stephen has also worked extensively on Broadway, across the United States, in Europe as well as in the U.K. regions with a long run as Associate Choreographer for Chichester Festival Theatre. He continues to be a strong champion for the Musical Theatre industry and has become a patron for numerous performing arts schools including Laine Theatre Arts and The Brighton Academy, encouraging young people to get involved in Musical Theatre.With 'Mary Poppins' now firmly reopened in the West End and featuring his and Sir Matthew Bourne OBE's Olivier Award winning choreography, Stephen Mear was kind enough to sit down with us to share his insights into the industry and working with some of the industry's top talent. He also tells us his thoughts on the recent backlash against his 'Mary Poppins' collaborator legendary producer: Sir Cameron Mackintosh. It's a fascinating listen as he makes it clear that talent must always come first whilst remaining a faithful supporter of diversity causes. Moreover, Stephen Mear reasserts his passion for working especially after a year of theatre closures and we look forward to what else has to offer in the years ahead.
