Biography

edit

Haas was born in Chicago and raised in a musical family — his father is bassist Eddie de Haas and his mother, Geraldine Bey, was one of the Bey sisters of the musical trio Andy and The Bey Sisters. De Haas is especially noted for his extremely wide vocal range. He appeared in the Broadway productions of Rent, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Carousel, Marie Christine, Shuffle Along, or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed, and the Paper Mill Playhouse cast of Children of Eden.[1] He won an Obie Award in 1999 for his performance in the title role in Diedre Murray's jazz opera Running Man[2] and played Jesus in the Alliance Theatre's re-imagining of Webber-Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar (re-titled JCS Gospel). In recent years he has become known as a concert/recording artist, singing with several symphonies including the Cincinnati Pops and Boston Pops, having notably performed and recorded the music of Billy Strayhorn and Stevie Wonder. He provides the singing voice for the character of Shy Baldwin on Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.[3]
