Seth Sikes
Seth Sikes (born January 30, 1984) is an American cabaret singer based in New York City.[1][2]
Early life
Born in Paris, Texas, the son of educators Bill and Candi Sikes, much of his youth was spent acting, playing trumpet and dreaming of Broadway.[3]
New York and 54 Below
After graduating from North Laramore Highschool, Sikes moved to New York City and attended Circle in the Square Theater School. He was later employed on Broadway as Assistant Director for The Nance, by Douglas Carter Beane, starring Nathan Lane, at the Lyceum Theatre (Broadway), and Associate Director for The Band's Visit (musical), by David Yazbek and Itamar Moses, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.[4][5]
Appearing before "a sold-out house screaming for more," according to American film critic, journalist, and media personality Rex Reed, Sikes made his cabaret debut at 54 Below.[6] Many return engagements followed, as well as appearances in cabarets, nightclubs and cafes throughout the United States, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and in London and Sitges. Specializing in show tunes, Sikes interprets songs associated with Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters and Barbra Streisand, among others.[7][8][9]
