His bio describes Josh’s career so far as follows:

Josh Piterman has already forged a professional career as an award winning performing artist in musical theatre and is poised to take his career to the highest level in Australia on stage and screen. He is delighted and incredibly grateful to be performing the role of Gerry Goffin in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and is thrilled to be working with such an immensely talented company.

Josh grew up with a love of sport and performance but his passion for entertaining and singing won out and took him to The University of Ballarat Arts Academy where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Music Theatre) in 2006.

Josh kicked off his career performing with the international group, The Ten Tenors and then made his mark as Tony in the 2010 tour of West Side Story. An early career highlight was when he understudied/played George in The Drowsy Chaperone for Melbourne Theatre Company alongside Geoffrey Rush.

Other musical theatre credits include playing Bustopher Jones/Gus/Growltiger in the 2016 season of Cats, a role that won him the Green Room Award for Best Supporting Actor in A Musical; Edward in Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers; Corny Collins in the UK tour of Hairspray; Ramon Gutierrez in An Officer And A Gentleman; The Caliph in Kismet for The Production Company and Giuseppe in The Light in the Piazza at The Arts Centre in late 2016.

Josh has just appeared playing the role of Jamie in The Last Five Years for The Victorian Theatre Company in December 2016.

Josh is currently developing his debut album, a collaboration with John Foreman of contemporary pop sings with a classical twist.
