Reeve Carney

Reeve Carney is an American musician and actor known for blending stage performance with rock- and folk-inflected songwriting. He gained wide recognition for originating leading roles in major theatrical productions, including Peter Parker in the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, and later as Orpheus in the acclaimed musical Hadestown, where his ethereal falsetto became central to songs like «Epic I», «Epic II» and «Epic III». He is also known for his television work, playing Dorian Gray in the Showtime series Penny Dreadful.

Carney's musical output sits at the intersection of theater and rock songwriting, marked by lyrical, atmospheric arrangements and a distinctive high, emotive vocal register. Songs such as «Come Home with Me» and «If it's True» showcase a softer, folk-rock sensibility that runs alongside his more theatrical stage work, reflecting an artist equally at home writing intimate songs and performing them within narrative, character-driven contexts.

His contribution to Hadestown in particular helped shape one of the most celebrated modern musicals, earning the show multiple Tony Awards and cementing Carney's reputation as a performer capable of carrying both dramatic storytelling and standalone musical artistry.
