Phillip Boykin Broadway and West End star Phillip Boykin makes his Rehoboth Beach debut accompanied by Grammy and Emmy Award winning pianist and music director John McDaniel. In his 2012 Broadway debut in Porgy & Bess, he received a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of Crown, a role he reprised at Regent's Park in London. Subsequent Broadway appearances have included On the Town, Once on this Island, The Music Man, and Hadestown (in which he played Hades for three years on both Broadway and in the West End). He joined the star-studded cast of Sondheim on Sondheim at the Hollywood Bowl and has performed opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford in the Encores! production of Sunday in the Park with George. His voice has been praised in the press as "ravishing," "with charisma and a voice to die for" and "booming baritone [that] will instantly cure all your troubles."
