Eric Hart is a multifaceted performer and creative leader dedicated to the art of storytelling. From the dramatic intensity of leading musical theater roles to the nuanced demands of film and television, Eric brings a wealth of experience and a passion for empowering the next generation of performers. ### Performance Career #### Roots in Music Eric’s journey as a performer began in his youth, where he grew up at his father’s piano singing a wide variety of songs. His early talent led him to tour with the **Metropolitan Boys Choir**, a prestigious experience that included being featured on a recorded album. He made his musical theater debut in *Amahl and the Night Visitors* with the **North Dakota Civic Light Opera (NDCLO)**, marking the start of a lifelong dedication to the stage. #### The Definitive "Jekyll & Hyde" Eric is widely recognized for his deep connection to Frank Wildhorn’s **Jekyll & Hyde**. He has starred in the title role numerous times across the country, including celebrated productions at the **Starlight Theatre**, the **Croswell Opera House**, and **Fullerton Civic Light Opera (FCLO)**. Throughout his many turns as the title character, his performances have been met with stunning accolades and reviews, marked by several "bluebird moments" that define his legacy with the show. Notably, Eric played a pivotal role in the evolution of the piece at **FCLO**. He assisted in the **rewriting and staging** of this version and **originated the title role** in its World Premiere. This production was significant for introducing substantial script and sequence changes that were eventually authorized by the show's licensor, **Musical Theatre International (MTI)**, for use in subsequent productions. Critics noted that this version improved upon the original Broadway production by tightening the first act, enhancing the gothic atmosphere, and increasing the psychological depth of the characters. Eric’s expertise with the material continues today; he directed the 2023 production at the Croswell Opera House, which earned him **Awards** for Best Director and Best Musical.   #### Stage and Screen   Eric’s stage career is highlighted by notable runs in some of the world's most prestigious venues. His **Broadway and National Tour** credits include: **The Scarlet Pimpernel**: Original Broadway Company (Coupeau/Chauvelin). Featured on [Original Broadway Cast Recording](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYR6qmRq6aM&list=PLNmVvguimIsWLF5khLi9xa2fg7C4M2RMy&index=3). This show was nominated for three Tony awards. **Les Misérables**: 3rd National/International/ Broadway (Montparnasse/ Javert) **Notre Dame de Paris**: Original American Company (Frollo). Featured on [Original Las Vegas Cast Recording](https://notre-dame-de-paris.fandom.com/wiki/T._Eric_Hart/Recordings). **The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber**: 1st International tour/Shed Tour/ National tour, co-starring with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford. His work has graced iconic stages including **Carnegie Hall**, the **Minskoff**, the **Shubert**, the National and the **Starlight Bowl**. Internationally, he has performed at the **Kallang Theatre** in Singapore and **Royal Albert Hall** in London. On screen, Eric has appeared in a variety of television series and films, including recurring roles in *As The World Turns* (Sky Dog) and *Another World* (Townsend Griffith). Other credits include *Turn* (AMC), *Legends and Lies* (FOX), and *Killing Lincoln* (PBS). #### Directing and Coaching Beyond performing, Eric is an award-winning director and educator.  Since 2003, he has provided professional coaching in vocal production, acting, and public speaking. He also serves on the Advisory Board for the **Breaking The Chains Foundation** and as Co-Director for **Big C New Me**, a program supporting cancer survivors and caregivers. ### Personal Life In 2003, Eric married his wife, Amy. Shortly after their wedding, Amy was diagnosed with cancer, and Eric spent the next two years serving as her dedicated caregiver. This experience ignited his lifelong passion for supporting the mental health of cancer survivors and caregivers alike. Amy has been cancer-free since 2006, and together they continue to host events across the country with their program Big C New Me (under the Breaking The Chains umbrella) to support the survivor and caregiver community. Reflecting on his journey, Eric feels most fortunate for the **lifelong friends** he has made throughout his career—relationships he cherishes deeply. Eric and Amy have lived in historic **Scottsville, Virginia** since 2006. They share their home with their two beloved dogs, Starr and Wynn. Whether on stage or in his studio, Eric remains committed to the joy of performance and the community of artists he helps thrive. ![Silhouette of T Eric Hart as Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde](https://www.terichartonstage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hyde%20prowling%20the%20streets!.jpg?width=800&height=533&name=Hyde%20prowling%20the%20streets!.jpg "Silhouette of T Eric Hart as Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde") --- - [HOME](https://www.terichartonstage.com) - [BIO](https://www.terichartonstage.com/bio) - [RESUME](https://www.terichartonstage.com/resume) - [MEDIA](https://www.terichartonstage.com/media) - [DIRECTING](https://www.terichartonstage.com/directing) - [PUBLIC SPEAKING & PRESENCE](https://www.terichartonstage.com/coaching) - [ACCOLADES](https://www.terichartonstage.com/accolades) - [CONTACT](https://www.terichartonstage.com/contact) [Create Virtual Meeting with Eric](https://calendar.app.google/5rWoQqSfUhaZ62oH9) © 2026 T.
