Groban: 'I will never forget the fun times, the care for my craft, and the friendship. Thank you, David.'
BroadwayWorld is saddened to learn of the passing of David Romano, voice teacher and Broadway actor.
Romano starred as as Ubaldo Piangi in the Broadway cast of Phantom of the Opera, and was a voice teacher to Josh Groban and many more.
David toured the world as a soloist and can be heard on everything from film soundtracks to commercials, as well as his album, "The Greatest Tenor Show on Earth," where he duets with Luciano Pavarotti.
David's clients have been seen in everything from the Metropolitan Opera to Broadway stages and feature films.
Groban paid tribute to Romano on Instagram, stating:
"When I think back to my early years, there were two Davids who guided my voice. The first of course was @davidfoster. But behind the scenes there was another, David Romano. I remember when I first met David he was pretty eccentric. Big energy. Big opinions (that never changed!), but big knowledge."
