Jonathan Deans

Jonathan Deans is a man at the top of his game. He has done astounding work for Cirque du Soleil since the 1990s, with a new tour and a new resident show in Las Vegas (based on Elvis Presley) on his plate now. His Broadway sound credits the upcoming Spider-Man, as well as include Young Frankenstein, The Pirate Queen, Lestat, Brooklyn, Taboo, Follies, Seussical, The Music Man, Fosse, Parade, Ragtime, Street Corner Symphony, Candide, and Damn Yankees. His work with Cirque du Soleil, where he has designed Love, KA, O, Zumanity, La Nouba, and Mystère, leaves audiences spellbound by the sound that sometimes appears to zip in and out of their ears. Born in the UK, he started out at the RSC, Covent Garden, and the West End where he mixed shows before he began designing. Keep an ear out for future work with Cirque around the globe, including a project in Macau and a revival of Ragtime at The Kennedy Center.
