Biography

Paul Wontorek is best known as Editor-in-Chief of the leading theater website Broadway.com, a role he's held since its launch in 2000. In addition to guiding the voice of the site's editorial content, he's produced all of its video content, which has been streamed hundreds of millions of times by theater fans around the world. He hosted the long-running interview series "Show People" (Emmy Award nomination, Best Program Host/Moderator), "Broadway.com #LiveatFive" and "Front Row" among others, and can be seen on the nationally-syndicated weekly series "The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal." He's received a total of 18 Emmy nominations as producer, director, writer and host and won for the CBS Tony Awards special "At the Tonys." Recent directing credits include "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" 2020 charity event, "Buyer and Cellar" starring Michael Urie and the star-studded "Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration," which was cited as a Critics Pick by "The New York Times" and won the Drama League Award for Outstanding Digital Concert Production. Although he's never had dreams of performing, Paul was seen playing himself in the musical "The Prom" by one very lucky Broadway audience in 2019.
