VIDEO: Josh Groban Auditions to Be Ballperson for 2015 U.S. Open

Josh Groban is a huge tennis fan and last week, attempted to both qualify and audition to be a ballperson at this year's U.S. Open. Neither worked out for him, but he did take the ARTHUR Ashe Stadium court last night as the headlining performer on Opening Night 2015!

BWW will bring you video of the performance as soon as it becomes available. In the mean time, check out the international superstar's ballperson audition video!

Multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban released his new album "Stages" on April 28th, 2015, via Reprise Records. The album is a collection of some of the greatest musical theater songs of all time

Recorded with producers Humberto Gatica and Bernie Herms in both Los Angeles and London's Abbey Road (with a 75-piece orchestra), Stages features songs from LES MISERABLES ("Bring Him Home"); Rodgers & Hammerstein'sCarousel ("You'll Never Walk Alone"); Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George ("Finishing the Hat"), Sweeney Todd ("Not While I'm Around"), and Into the Woods ("Children Will Listen"); The Fantasticks ("Try to Remember"); A Chorus Line ("What I Did For Love"); Andrew Lloyd Weber's Phantom of the Opera ("All I Ask of You"), The Wizard of Oz ("Over the Rainbow"), and others.

Stages also features duets with Audra McDonald sings on "If I Loved You" ("in my head I heard her on this and to sing it in the room with her was a dream come true"); and trumpeter Chris Botti plays on "Old Devil Moon" ("he plays with such control and expressiveness").
