An Evening with 
Ben Jones
and special guest Allison Semmes

Ben Jones is one the most versatile and talented artists working in the theater and cabaret scene. Broadway World wrote that Ben had “one of the most unbelievable vocal instruments in the industry today.”

​

He is a fixture at New York’s 54 Below where he performs to sellout crowds.  Last year he took on the role of  Sid Sorokin in The Pajama Game in San Francisco, for which he received the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for Best Performance in a Musical. And in 2022, his solo shows — I Think I'm in Love and I Think We Should See Other People — were featured in Broadway World's "Best of 2022."

​

Not only can he sing the American Songbook, but Ben has worked as a musical artist in Classical music and sung with opera greats Isabel Leonard, Nathan Gunn, Frederica von Stade and many others. He has also appeared with great American symphony orchestras such as the San Francisco Symphony, the Seattle Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and the San Diego Symphony, to name a few.  The renowned conductor Michael Tilson Thomas said this of Ben, “We’re still trying to figure out what it is that Ben can’t do”.

​

Ben made his Carnegie Hall debut virtually in 2021, performing a song from the new musical A Most Dangerous Man on Carnegie Hall’s Voices of Hope series.  He has also been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, and with the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Ben has been featured on recordings on the Albany, Naxos, and Delos labels.

Special guest Allison Semmes was Josephine Baker in Barry Manilow’s Broadway show, Harmony, and Diana Ross in Motown: The Musical.
