TONIGHT’S SHOW – INTERNATIONAL TENOR SHIMI GOODMAN
Shimi was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and currently lives in London, England.
He received a BA Honours in Musical Theatre from Guildford School of Acting. He has performed extensively in the West End and some of the most prestigious venues worldwide, entertaining royalty and Heads of State.
In 2015, Shimi sang at the gala tribute to former Israeli president Mr Shimon Peres at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane in London. In 2017, he sang in front of King Felipe VI of Spain at the Teatro Real Opera House in Madrid.
Singing since the age of 14, his first lead role was at 17 as Don Jose in an Israeli production of Carmen, which was also televised. His West End debut was as Akaash in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production of Bombay Dreams. He
played in the musical Chicago alongside actresses such as Linda Carter, Brooke Shields, and model Christie Brinkley. He was also a lead performer in the original cast of the record-breaking hit West End show Dirty Dancing and played the role of
Che in Evita and the leading role of Don Lockwood in Singin’ in the Rain.
The press has described him as “a true triple threat” and “a looker, a hoofer and boy can he sing!” Shimi’s music can be heard on all online music stores.
