He has appeared in Europe, on Broadway, in film, television, recordings and regional theatre.[2] Productions that he has been involved in include Dessa Rose, Miss Saigon, The Wild Party, and several others.[3] Lewis has been credited as having "an impressive Broadway resumé" by Playbill.

He first starred in the role in the 2006 Broadway revival, making him the first African American actor to play the role in a professional English production. He later reprised it in the West End production. At London's O2 Arena, he sang the role in the 25th anniversary concert of the show. Lewis again reprised the role in The Muny, St. Louis production from July 15–21, 2013.[12][13] In 2007 he originated the role of King Triton in the Broadway production of The Little Mermaid.[14] He went on to sing as King Triton on the original Broadway cast recording.

He had previously played this role at the Signature Theatre in 1999.[15] Lewis was featured in the musical revue Sondheim on Sondheim, which premiered in the Roundabout Theatre's Studio 54 in 2010. The production, conceived and directed by James Lapine, also featured Barbara Cook and Vanessa L. Williams.[16] His rendition of "Being Alive" was one of the evening's outstanding highlights.[17][18] Lewis appeared in a revised version of Porgy and Bess, as Porgy, first at the Loeb Drama Center (Cambridge, Massachusetts) in August through September 2011 and then on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre starting in previews on December 12, 2011. This American Repertory Theater production was "re-imagined by Suzan-Lori Parks and Diedre Murray as a musical for contemporary audiences."[19] He was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical[20] and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for his performance.[21] Lewis released his first solo album, This Is the Life! in 2008 under the Seahorse Productions label.[22] His other notable recordings include the cast recordings of Side Show, The Who's Tommy, and the 1998 cast recording of A New Brain as Roger Delli-Bovi, for Scott Alan's Keys and for the 2001 New York cast recording of Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens in aid of the Momentum Aids Project. In 2012, Lewis joined the cast of the ABC political thriller television series Scandal, in the role of Senator Edison Davis.[23][24] In 2013, Lewis starred as Prospero in the Public Theater's PublicWorks Shakespeare in the Park production of The Tempest at the Delacorte Theater.

On February 7, 2015, Lewis ended his tenure as the Phantom with a performance at the Majestic Theatre. Coverage in Playbill credited him for his "impressive Broadway resumé". Being succeeded by actor James Barbour, Lewis remarked that he had been a fan of the musical for many years and felt that obtaining the part finally had been akin to winning the lottery.[3] Lewis is a recipient of the 2014 AUDELCO Special Achievement Award.[32] He began playing Agwe in Once on this Island on January 8, 2018, at the Circle in the Square theatre and continues to perform the role.[33] Lewis portrayed Caiaphas in the live televised concert production of Jesus Christ Superstar on April 1, 2018, Easter Sunday.
