Darius de Haas has long been celebrated as a “vocal acrobat,” known for his extraordinary range and versatility. From Broadway stages to concert halls worldwide, he has built a career that spans multiple musical genres.
“I’m looking forward to appearing at the Rittenhouse Grill, which is a sort of swanky throwback to the 1940s cabaret atmosphere,” de Haas says. “The focus is a much more intimate setting where I can get up close to my audience.”
During this special performance, de Haas plans to feature songs by some of the great vocalists who have inspired him over the years. “Artists like Nat ‘King’ Cole, Johnny Mathis, and Sam Cooke have shaped my musical journey,” he explains. “This type of atmosphere allows me to really connect with my audience.”
Born in Chicago, de Haas grew up surrounded by music. His father, jazz bassist Eddie de Haas, mother Geraldine Bey de Haas, aunt Salome Bey, and uncle Andy Bey all contributed to a rich musical environment.
“I was surrounded by music all my life, so I guess you could say it was only natural that it would become a part of me,” de Haas shares. “And I’m so glad it did because today I can honestly say I love what I do.”
From a young age, de Haas knew he wanted to sing and perform on Broadway. “I would see my mother in different shows and then try to reproduce what I heard,” he recalls. “I always knew I wanted to be on Broadway. Taking everything into account, I would say I was blessed with a gift that turned into a lifelong passion.”
To pursue his dreams, de Haas immersed himself in theater, acting, choir, and dance classes while in high school. Afterward, he attended Columbia College in Chicago and later earned a scholarship to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York.
De Haas made his Broadway debut in the original production of Kiss of the Spider Woman and went on to star in productions including Rent, The Gershwins’ Fascinating Rhythm, and Marie Christine. His career spans television, touring with legendary artists such as Elvis Costello, Deborah Harry, and Roberta Flack, and performing at renowned venues like Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Festival Hall, The Kennedy Center, The National Symphony, and the Boston Pops.
Beyond his performing career, de Haas is deeply committed to social causes. He has worked with The Fair Housing Justice Center and Covenant House and is a founding member of Black Theatre United, an organization supporting Black excellence and combating systemic racism in the entertainment industry.
When he’s not performing or advocating for change, de Haas continues to record music. His latest album, Let Me Carry You, showcases his talent and dedication to his craft.
“I think among my other ‘gifts’ is my patience,” he concludes. “I would urge others seeking to get into this business to adopt the same emotion. Take it slowly — one day at a time — and continue to grow.”
Philadelphia audiences will have the rare opportunity to experience the artistry of Darius de Haas up close. Tickets and more information on the Broadway Cabaret series are available at rittenhousegrill.com.
