"...the only thing more annoying than another revival of Les Miz is a post that begins with the name of someone I've never heard of and doesn't even disclose in the post what show is being discussed. Is Ramin Karimloo a household name in every home but mine?" A household name? Hardly. But he definitely has been building a following over the years outside of the U.S., and his name has been mentioned on here multiple times since this revival has been announced. I got to see him perform at the Phantom 25th Anniversary performance on Broadway and his voice is gorgeous. Don't think that is enough to get me to pay full price to see Les Mis again, but his broadway debut will definitely be a selling-point for some.

He was also part of the Les Mis and Phantom anniversary concerts that they play practically non-stop on most PBS stations. Those programs appeal to the demographic that also goes to musicals, so I don't find it hard at all to imagine him being well-known in pretty broad circles.
