A dynamic presence on Broadway, Groban earned Tony® nominations for his roles in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and the 2023 revival of Sweeney Todd, which also garnered him a GRAMMY® nomination and widespread critical acclaim. His versatility extends to film and television appearances ranging from Glee and The Office to Crazy, Stupid, Love and Netflix’s The Good Cop, as well as starring as the Beast in ABC’s Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration. Beyond performance, Groban remains an active arts education philanthropist and advocate, and his Find Your Light Foundation helps enrich the lives of young students through arts, education, and cultural awareness.
Groban just released his new album CINEMATIC (released May 8) via Reprise Records. Produced by Greg Wells and recorded in Los Angeles and London, the 10-track collection pays tribute to iconic songs from beloved films including The Godfather, Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Stand By Me. This Spring, Groban wrapped his GEMS World Tour with sold-out performances across Asia, Australia, the U.K. and Europe. In June, Josh will head back on the road for his North America headline tour, where he will be joined by special guest Jennifer Hudson. In the fall he will return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for Josh Groban: GEMS – The Las Vegas Residency. With new music and performances throughout the year, Groban continues to connect with audiences through his unmistakable voice and timeless repertoire.
