Davis Gaines: Love Is in the Air

Davis Gaines was a replacement Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera before graduating to the masked man himself—a role he went on to play for 2,000 performances on Broadway and on tour—and originated the leading role in Whistle Down the Wind, Andrew Lloyd Webber's ill-fated 1996 collaboration with Jim Steinman. His classic romantic baritone remains a thing of beauty. In this too-rare NYC appearance, he sings a collection of love songs for Valentine's week, accompanied on piano by John Olearchick.
