With a baritone described as “richer than Fort Knox” (Show Business Magazine), Douglas Ladnier is a powerhouse vocalist, Broadway performer, and EMMY®-nominated songwriter who has captivated audiences and critics alike worldwide. Whether commanding the stage in a blockbuster Broadway musical, delivering a soul-stirring ballad, swinging a famous standard or reimagining the legendary songs of Sinatra, Elvis, Bob Dylan or Neil Diamond, Ladnier’s voice is a force of nature—mesmerizing, timeless, evocative, and unforgettable. “World-class” (StageSceneLA).
A veteran of the Broadway stage, Douglas performed 11 roles in the original Broadway production of Jekyll & Hyde and has starred in many critically-acclaimed musicals across the country. His solo concerts, recognized with a Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Vocalist, have made him a fixture in some of New York’s most prestigious venues, including The Town Hall, 54 Below, Iridium Jazz Club, The Metropolitan Room and Merkin Concert Hall.
His talent has earned him widespread critical acclaim too. The New York Times calls him simply “the best”, while Rex Reed raves in The New York Observer that Douglas’ “melting baritone could singlehandedly revive the art of the ballad, the love song, and the heart-breaker.” At every performance, Ladnier leaves audiences spellbound, on their feet, and “in a state of euphoria” (TalkinBroadway.com).
In 2024 Douglas received a Daytime EMMY® nomination for Outstanding Original Song.
“Shine,” was nominated after a performance on ABC’s General Hospital.
Beyond concert halls, intimate night clubs and the Broadway stage, Douglas has thrilled audiences all over America playing iconic roles including Sweeney Todd, Pontius Pilate (Jesus Christ Superstar), Jafar (Aladdin), El Gallo (The Fantasticks), Dracula, and many more. Recently, he starred opposite Sally Struthers at the Laguna Playhouse and directed and starred in Into The Woods for the Ojai Performing Arts Theater.
New for 2025, Douglas is honored to present DIAMONDS – The Greatest Hits of Neil Diamond. More than just a tribute to a national treasure and legendary singer-songwriter, this electrifying concert breathes new life into Diamond’s iconic catalog, blending faithful renditions with Ladnier’s signature storytelling and unparalleled vocal and emotional depth.
No matter the stage, no matter the song, Douglas Ladnier delivers an experience that “pays off like a blue chip stock” (TalkinBroadway.com) —an experience that lingers in the heart and soul long after the final note.
Douglas Ladnier with Sergio Salani on piano performing beautiful love songs from the heart. Includes Imagine, You Are So Beautiful, Truly, Send In The Clowns, Hallelujia and many more classics. Available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and all other digital music platforms.
