Victor Prescott is mostly famous as the founder of the Jazz Valley project which used to operate a worldwide jazz portal, presenting tens of thousands of jazz musicians, clubs, festivals and producers. Owing to that experience, Victor definitely settled down in Paris and made himself a name in the world of jazz professionals in France, highlighting primarily his skills in software engineering and media design.
Since Jazz Valley closed in 2004, Victor has been concentrating on his own artistic projects, this time presenting himself as a composer, accompanist, arranger and show leader. His passion for jazz music has by now shifted to two major specialities: the American Musical Theater (Broadway) and Brazilian Music (Bossa Nova).
After finishing the writing of his first complete musical Transatlantica (2004), Victor has dozens of other musical-related projects in mind. His mission as a pianist, singer and arranger for Broadway Party is an opportunity to practise the live stage permanently, to remain in contact with the public and, above all, to keep sharing his passion for the Musical Comedy with his friends and fellow musicians.

Patrick Honoré
Vocals, dancing

Patrick Honoré counts doubtlessly among the biggest French experts of the American Musical Theater.
Initially specialized in dancing, Patrick launched his career in 1987 by creating the dance troupe Guys & Dolls for the Voiron Festival where it immediately won the grand-prix. The troupe, still active today, consists of 6 to 10 professional dancers from Paris, all of them also singers and actors.
While his dancing career kept skyrocketing, it did not take long before Patrick started singing, quickly becoming one of the most active crooners of Parisian piano bars. His erudition in Broadway history being unbeatable, his repertoire is by consequence colossal, which makes it really easy for Patrick to promptly establish a common language with all the pianists in Paris.
When Patrick met Victor Prescott et Elodie Ruillier in 2004, the three of them decided to launch a new form of a show paying tribute to the American Musical Theater. Broadway Party is an excellent oportunity for Patrick to fill a show with all of his talents, including singing, dancing and acting... but above all, never giving up his great mood and loads of energy.

Vocals

Elodie was born in Paris in 1981, and was a natural performer from the start.
She attended a high school for the performing arts while living in Paris, focusing on singing, acting, and dancing.
Through this training, she developed a great interest in Musical Theater and, after graduation, she auditioned and was admitted to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City. Elodie then spent the next three years studying abroad, living in the heart of New York City, and performing on Broadway.
In 2002, after graduating from AMDA, Elodie then moved back to Paris. Her interests were still rooted in Musical Theater, but she soon began to cultivate her love for vocal jazz. She is currently building a repertoire of American jazz standards, mixed with more modern English pop songs that she performs in Parisian piano bars, music festivals, or on private occasions.
Today, Elodie works in several parallel directions, ranging from her role in Broadway Party to other projects featuring original songs. She recently signed a recording deal with Little Genius Entertainment.
