Zachary Tarlton is the creator and founder of Queen City Concerts, Charlotte's only theatre company dedicated exclusively to concert-style productions of musicals and plays. Queen City Concerts has produced small-scale musicals such as TICK, TICK...BOOM! and ORDINARY DAYS in addition to large-scale musicals like KINKY BOOTS and TITANIC (featuring a 22-piece orchestra). Queen City Concerts will present its first staged non-musical, ANGELS IN AMERICA, PARTS 1 AND 2, in May 2023. Next season, Queen City Concerts will present a six-show season, with five regional premiers including one brand new, original musical.
Before founding Queen City Concerts, Zack previously music directed productions for Actor's Theatre of Charlotte (FUN HOME, SILENCE! THE MUSICAL), Theatre Charlotte (AVENUE Q, GYPSY, SPRING AWAKENING, ADDAMS FAMILY, and others), Matthews Playhouse (WEST SIDE STORY, SWEENEY TODD, and others), and played piano in the orchestra for shows across the region.
