Paris native, Seth Sikes will be bringing his one-man show From Paris To Manhattan to Paris Community Theater on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Sikes’s concert will showcase well-known Broadway standards and some of the classics from the American Songbook that have brought Sikes critical acclaim and tickets are now on sale.
Sikes moved to New York to attend school after graduating from high school. Seth has deep roots in the community and visits often. His father Bill Sikes is the baseball coach at North Hopkins High School. His mother is a Counselor mom at Pairiland. Seth is a graduate of North Lamar.
Sikes has been profiled in the New York Times, New York Post, Boston Globe and appeared on The Today Show in June 2022.
The New York Times said of Sikes’s debut, “The performance — less an impression of Ms. Garland than an interpretation of her vibrato-heavy method of belting – was a hit.” Rex Reed said, “Sikes belted out small gems and big treasures alike to a sold-out house screaming for more. He’s already developing a fan base and there’s no telling how far Seth Sikes will go.”
His follow-up show was an equal success and sold-out weeks in advance. The New York Post said, “It was a heartfelt concert. Sikes has a heap of fans and his audiences are always tightly packed and brimming with enthusiasm for his booming, jazzy renditions of their favorite songs.”
When the Covid pandemic prevented Sikes from performing live, the resourceful performer created a series of comedic music videos. These videos quickly went viral, attracting hundreds of thousands of new fans. Sikes’s video, “Ring Them Bells,” was selected to close Liza Minnelli’s 75th birthday tribute online. And his video “The Trolley Song,” landed Sikes on the front page of The Cape Cod Times in advance of a sold-out run in Provincetown. You can watch his videos here.
