Broadway & Vine invites you to an unforgettable evening pairing some of Napa Valley’s most beloved vintners with an intimate concert by Olivier Award Nominee Julian Ovenden. Julian has built a reputation over the last two decades as a truly versatile performer in constant demand on stage and screen, in concert and in the recording studio.
Theatre work includes leading roles at the Donmar; the Almeida; the Theatre Royal Haymarket; the Young Vic; the RSC; the Roundabout in NYC, and in the West End and on Broadway. Recent stage work includes starring opposite Gillian Anderson in Ivo Van Hove’s All About Eve and playing Emile de Becque in the smash hit revival of South Pacific, directed by Daniel Evans at Chichester Festival and Sadler’s Wells for which he was nominated for the 2023 Olivier Award for Leading Actor in a Musical.
Julian has starred in many TV shows on both sides of the Atlantic, including Downton Abbey, Foyle’s War, Person of Interest, Any Human Heart, Knightfall, Smash, The Crown, The Sound of Music and Adult Material.

Broadway and Vine was founded with a mission to provide mentorship, masterclass, and performance opportunities for students and pre-professional performing artists. The concert series’ first season launched in 2021 and quickly became a San Francisco Chronicle critics’ pick with performances by Tony winner Beth Leavel, Tony nominee Tony Yazbeck, Shoshana Bean, and Taylor Iman Jones.
