Lafayette Ben Charlatan
as Pharoah
Lafayette Ben Charlatan is a singer and piano tinker who is happy to be going out on a limb, getting up from behind the piano to bring you the mighty Pharaoh. When not on stage at The Borgnine, Lafayette can be found performing songs and telling tales at 4th St. Vine wine bar in the LBC, from 5-8pm on the first Sunday of every month. He plays standards, not so standards, and his own songs too. He is new to musical theater, but he couldn't pass up this chance to channel his inner Elvis and bring you this Pharaoh "King". www.lafayettebencharlatan.com
