Bridging the gap between music and theater, Darius de Haas' resume reads like a multifaceted road map of the performing arts. While pursuing a double major in music and theater at Columbia College, he worked with some of Chicago's finest theater companies including Northlight and The Goodman. A scholarship to study at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy brought Darius to New York. After graduating, he was cast as Daniel in the first national tour of "Once On This Island."

Darius made his Broadway debut in "Kiss of the Spider Woman." He went on to be featured in various Broadway productions including Lincoln Center's revival of "Carousel," "Rent," and "Marie Christine." He toured internationally in the world premiere of "I Was Looking At The Ceiling..." (directed by Peter Sellars), and won the Obie award for his work in the title role of Off-Broadway's "Running Man."

Darius has appeared in film and TV and his voice can be heard on the film soundtracks of "Anastasia," "Martin & Orloff," and the Oscar winning "Chicago."


As a soloist, Darius has sung in some of the finest concert halls and clubs including Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Festival Hall, Lincoln Center, LA's Disney Concert Hall, and St. John the Divine as well as appearances with NYFOS and the Broadway Inspirational Voices. His solo concerts include a variety of genres, from jazz, broadway, and the critically acclaimed "Wonder: The Songs of Stevie Wonder." His concerts of composer Billy Strayhorn's music ("Take the 'A' Train," "Lush Life," etc.) culminated in numerous TV appearances and his critically acclaimed solo debut CD, "Darius de Haas: Day Dream, Variations on Strayhorn."
