Meyer has traversed all four corners of the entertainment industry, making strong impressions in theatre, film, television and music. On Broadway, he created the role of Clinton Badger in MGM’s classic Meet Me In St. Louis and toured nationally in Cats as Skimbleshanks.
Meyer worked with Alan Menken on Disney’s Aladdin, and with Tim Rice and Elton John on The Lion King. Other television and film appearances include guest starring roles on Necessary Roughness, Will & Grace, Good Morning Miami, Family Law, General Hospital, and Fernwood 2Nite.
Meyer’s film credits include Leatherheads with George Clooney and Renee Zellweger, Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah, and Identity Thief with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.
Meyer has headlined for Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Regent Cruises around the world. He has also toured internationally and recorded with music legends Barry Manilow and Frankie Valli.
“Craig A. Meyer is one of the most talented people I have ever worked with,” Manilow said. “He can do anything!”
Throughout Meyer’s career, he was repeatedly approached about his striking resemblance to Elton John and his uncanny ability to sound like the rock and roll legend. Meyer was eventually persuaded to expand his repertoire and began impersonating Sir Elton John.
And now, ATI is a part of Meyer’s return to Carmel. Meyer is a 1981 graduate of Carmel High School.
“Remember When Rock Was Young – The Elton John Tribute” is presented by Actors Theatre of Indiana and is sponsored by The City of Carmel, Current Publishing, Jill Zaniker, and Jeff and Shari Worrell.
