Joshua Henry’s Get Up, Stand Up! is a soulful bop through the songs that have moved and grooved us through the decades. Henry showcases his incredible range as he flows seamlessly from the classic soul of Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke to Broadway gems by Stephen Sondheim, Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein, and original selections from his solo album.&nbsp;
<h2>About Joshua Henry</h2>
Tony Award winner Joshua Henry is one of Broadway’s most dynamic leading men, celebrated for his extraordinary voice, emotional depth, and commanding stage presence.

In 2026, Henry released Joshua Henry: Live at Lincoln Center, a live acoustic album showcasing his singular voice and emotional range through a collection of mostly Broadway covers, reimagined with warmth, spontaneity, and the electricity of live performance. His additional credits as a recording artist include opening for Diana Ross at the Hollywood Bowl, performing alongside Common at The Kennedy Center, and releasing his debut album, GROW.
On screen, Henry played Gaston in ABC’s Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration and starred as Roger Bart in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Academy Award-nominated film tick, tick… BOOM! opposite Andrew Garfield. He also appeared in Steven Knight’s Apple TV+ drama See and starred in the action film American Renegades opposite J.K. Simmons and Sullivan Stapleton.
