Musician · Business Owner · Author · Speaker

I’m Clayton Craddock.

I'm a musician, business owner, author and speaker based in Las Vegas, and the founder of Broadway Bound and Beyond, a platform that helps musicians prepare for professional theater work and build careers that last. It includes my book, Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career, and Broadway Bound and Beyond: The Course, along with the Broadway Bound and Beyond podcast and YouTube channel.

That work comes from 33 years as a working musician in New York, 26 of them in musical theater. My Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and Off-Broadway I played Altar Boyz and tick, tick... BOOM! I've also subbed on Rent, Evita, Avenue Q, both the original production and the revival of The Color Purple, and the Hadestown national tour. Along the way I've worked with The Delfonics, The Stylistics, Deniece Williams, Hubert Sumlin, Chuck Berry, Norm Lewis, Kristin Chenoweth, Kerry Butler, Christian Borle and many others.

I also speak at universities and organizations about building relationships, musical versatility and financial stability.
