Artist Information

Tony Kishman as “Paul”

Tony Kishman

Actor, singer, and recording artist, Tony Kishman starred for six years in both the national and international tours of Broadway’s smash hit, Beatlemania. “Tony Kishman is the quintessential Paul McCartney...” said the Long Island Advance of the gifted young musician’s uncanny resemblance both visually and vocally to the beloved Beatle.

Tony is regarded by “Beatlemaniacs” and Beatle connoisseurs as the world’s best McCartney look-alike/sound-alike. He has been performing Twist and Shout, his award winning tribute to the most successful band of all time, around the globe for more than a decade, bringing the music and magic of Paul McCartney and the Beatles to a new generation.

In addition to developing and performing in Live and Let Die, Tony, along with frequent collaborator Jim Owen, also performs in the well known and highly successful Beatles symphony show, Classical Mystery Tour, which has toured to great acclaim, filling concert halls throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Tony has recorded for RCA Records and Mercury Records.
