NOTABLE ROLE: Raoul in Phantom of the Opera & Banko in Scotland, PA.

Jay Armstrong Johnson most recently starred on Broadway as Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera, joining the record-breaking phenomenon for its 30th anniversary year. Immediately following his turn as the dashing Raoul, Jay originated the role of lovable loner (and stoner) Banko in Roundabout Theatre Company’s world premiere of Scotland, PA. For his turn as Banko, Jay received critical acclaim and, most recently, nominations from both the Lucille Lortel and Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical. Jay made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hair and went on to perform in Catch Me If You Can, Hands on a Hardbody and On the Town. Johnson appeared Off-Broadway in Wild Animals You Should Know, in the national tour of A Chorus Line, and in regional productions of Hairspray and West Side Story. He is known to audiences worldwide as genius hacker Will Olsen on ABC’s “Quantico.” He appeared in all three seasons of the show’s run and quickly became a fan favorite.
