Sheehan, a Dublin-born tenor, sang in a rock band while he was a student at Notre Dame. He headed to New York to study acting and got a break when he came under the mentorship of Broadway director Hal Prince.
He made his Broadway debut in the original production of Les Miserables, playing Babet and Marius. Prince cast Sheehan in The Phantom of the Opera, first as Raoul, then as the Phantom. Sheehan has worked with the Irish Repertory Theatre Company. More recently, he taught at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies.
