CABARET NIGHT

Blaine Krauss has built a strong reputation in musical theatre, most notably through his five-year run starring in the national tour of Hamilton. He also appeared in the second season of Pose while performing in The Cher Show on Broadway. Prior to that, he was seen as “Lola” in Kinky Boots, following his Broadway debut in the acclaimed Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812.
 

His stage career has also taken him across North America as “Simba” in The Lion King, and he starred in the only production of the Radio City Summer Spectacular. Beyond the stage, Blaine regularly performs with symphonies around the world and at Feinstein’s/54 Below, where his acclaimed solo show, From the Soul, earned him a Bistro Award.

​

After celebrated engagements in New York and beyond—including Joe’s Pub and the Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles—Krauss now brings his solo show to the Poconos in a stripped-down, intimate version created especially for the festival setting.

​

From the Soul blends Broadway storytelling with the music that shaped Krauss as an artist—an electrifying and deeply personal mix of soul, R&B, jazz, classic Broadway, and legendary songwriters such as Prince, Stephen Sondheim, and Harold Arlen. Known for his soaring vocals and magnetic stage presence, Blaine invites audiences into an evening that is both concert and confession, filled with powerful anthems, unexpected arrangements, and moments of raw vulnerability that have made the show a fan favorite.

​

Hailed by critics as “a man whose star has been on the rise with substantial speed,” Krauss has emerged as one of Broadway’s most compelling crossover performers—equally at home leading major musical theatre productions and commanding the intimacy of a cabaret room.

​

At the Pocono Mountains Music Festival, audiences will experience From the Soul as it was first imagined: up close, personal, and electric, with Krauss guiding listeners through the music, stories, and spirit that define his artistry.
