Together and individually Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley, “Broadway’s Golden couple” (San Francisco Chronicle), who recently starred on Broadway in Next to Normal, have been delighting audiences around the country with their glorious voices, moving interpretations, and wonderful comic timing. “Their two-part harmonies are seamless [and] their theatrical timing while acting songs together and separately is impeccable,” writes The New York Times. They are at ease in intimate concert settings as well as backed by the country’s distinguished symphony orchestras.
Marin has been seen as Guenevere in Camelot with the New York Philharmonic’s Live at Lincoln Center broadcast on PBS. Her Broadway credits include Enron, Monty Python’s Spamalot, Kiss Me Kate, Ragtime, Passion and Man of La Mancha; she has also performed individually in concert venues from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl.
Jason joined may be most recognized from his performance as Lt. Joe Cable in the PBS Great Performances airing of South Pacific from Carnegie Hall.

Their show, Opposite You, was created for Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series, acclaimed as “romantic, dash, and daring. . . A celebration of Broadway, a celebration of love. . . . When they sing, the heart seems to beat a little faster” (Variety). They have since played it to critical acclaim around the country, from New York to Los Angeles. Their newest show, He Said/She Said was premiered this past February at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center in New Jersey, performed in April at the Coronado Performing Arts Center in Rockford, IL, and will make its New York City debut at the Cafe Carlyle for two weeks this May.
