Four talented dads from Utah, ThePianoGuys became YouTube superstars by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos. Steven Sharp Nelson, Jon Schmidt, Al Van der Beek and Paul Anderson have made over 35 of them since joining forces as ThePianoGuys, including an innovative multi-handed version of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and a gorgeous reinvention of the hit song “Let it Go” from Disney’s “Frozen.” Their stated mission is to “produce music videos that inspire, uplift, and make the world a better place.”

Their highly innovative covers and stunning blending of pop and classical music made them an Internet phenomenon, with over 1.34 billion YouTube views and 5.7 million YouTube subscribers. Their self-titled debut album, released on Sony Music Masterworks in 2012, was certified RIAA Gold and was followed by more albums - ThePianoGuys 2, A Family Christmas, Wonders, ThePianoGuys Live!, Uncharted and their new Christmas Together album (released October 27, 2017.) Their acclaimed videos, recordings, and concert performances have brought them a legion of fans around the globe.

About the National Theatre:
Located on Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House, the National Theatre opened in 1835 and is one of the country’s oldest continuously operating theaters. The National has long been known as one of the leading pre-Broadway venues, with SHOW BOAT; HELLO, DOLLY!; and WEST SIDE STORY among the many shows that hit the National stage prior to New York. The National continues that tradition starting October 31, 2017 when it hosts the pre-Broadway world premiere of the musical MEAN GIRLS. Many of the world’s leading performers have graced the “Stage of our Nation,” including Washington, DC’s own Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Eartha Kitt, Ian McKellen, Sir Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Chita Rivera, Will Rogers, and George C. Scott to name but a few. Jam Theatricals, under the direction of Steve Traxler and Arny Granat, began programming and managing the National Theatre in 2012. Since then, theatrical presentations have included the pre-Broadway engagement of IF/THEN with Idina Menzel, BLITHE SPIRIT starring Angela Lansbury, JERSEY BOYS, and the Washington premieres of MOTOWN THE MUSICAL, AMERICAN IDIOT, FUN HOME, and NEWSIES. In addition, the National has recently presented many special events and concerts, including Kacey Musgraves, Dave Koz, Bryan Adams, Bill Burr and Eddie Izzard.
