‘Some People are Worth Melting For,’ Like Santino Fontana

People’s hearts are sure to melt at this year’s Pioneer Day concerts. Frozen star, Santino Fontana, is scheduled to headline the concert series this year, which are put on by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. Fontana will star in two performances at the concert series titled, “A Celebration of Song.” The concert will be held in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, UT, on July 18 and 19, and will start at 8:00 P.M.

Fontana is a well-known performer, who is well recognized in the theater industry. Fontana received a Tony Award as Best Leading Actor nomination for his role as Prince Topher in Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. He also received the 2010 Drama Desk award for his role in Brighton Beach Memoirs and received recognition for his role in Broadway’s Billy Elliot. 

Ron Jarrett, Mormon Tabernacle Choir President, is thrilled to have Fontana participate in this years event:
