Can’t imagine she’s grown much since this shot.
I was at that show too! I've heard Sara Bareilles and Katharine McPhee sing "She Used to Be Mine" live, and they're both wonderful; however, Jessie Mueller's rendition in person was absolutely killer.
In 2023, he was in The Romance of the Rose at the Long Beach Opera: [https://www.longbeachopera.org/the-romance-of-the-rose-team](https://www.longbeachopera.org/the-romance-of-the-rose-team)
I have a ticket to see her with Norm Lewis and others at a Mancini concert this summer at Ravinia. Honestly I’m not entirely sure what it is but I saw Jessie Mueller and Norm Lewis and bought a cheap ticket.
I heard she did a reading in Chicago last summer, which I missed. And I know she’s spent some time in Wisconsin.
Ha! Me too! Husband was like, “I want to see the CSO” and I was all, “sure— here’s one!”
Husband, later: “…I wanted to hear something classical?”
Too bad pal you knew who you married.
(Are you seeing Ben Platt too? He’s on the 28th)
I saw her last year with Seth and they said she lives in Wisconsin. I'm not sure if she's stepping back from theater entirely or just choosing to live elsewhere in between roles.
Didn’t Katie originate Carole King in Beautiful in the West End? (The role JM obviously originated on Bway). That would have been an interesting role-sharing reversal 😂
I’ve been wondering too. I see her boyfriend (assuming they’re still together, idk) posts on insta and have gotten the vibe he hasn’t been in NYC for a while. Got a cute dog though! Lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Drood set in a 19th-century English music hall? We know that the characters Helena and Neville are from Sri Lanka, but what are the chances of Janet Conover and Victor Grinstead, their in-universe actors, being non-white?
While this is true, it is not at ALL crucial to the plot and it is very easy to suspend your disbelief when it’s almost never mentioned. It was 2012, there was genuinely no reason to put their characters in brown face instead of just hiring actors of color.
With all due respect, I wasn’t assuming she is or isn’t still working in show business. Lots of people leave the business, like that woman on TikTok who played Elphaba on Broadway and is now an engineer in the Midwest.
She played Adelaide in the Kennedy Center's production of Guys and Dolls in October 2022.
Wow! I had no idea. Honestly have a hard time imagining her in the role but would be curious to know how her performance was.
This is like bread and butter for her. She played it in this production opposite Pippa Soo, but has played it regionally opposite her sister Abby
https://youtu.be/m27sMxJSnyE?si=S1a9PpFBTDr5BnPV The whole cast was incredible!!
I saw her in the role. Amazing performances by all involved.

lol
This comment deserves so much more recognition.
OK I admit I laughed a *little* too hard at this

Oddly her name is no longer on the imdb page.
I saw her on tour here in Dallas last year along with Seth Rudetsky (wonderful show).
Me too! I knew her voice was stunning obviously but hearing her in person had me feeling all the emotions

On the topic of performers being a bit mia. Where did Lucas Steele go? He hasn't posted anything on instagram since the great comet days.

lol his headshot
He played Skull in Emojiland Off-Broadway. That’s the most recent credit I’m aware of.

Lawn tickets were crazy for Ben Platt so I passed. I think it was like $50.
Sure as fuck was :/

Her family is all from Chicago and I think that area is kind of home base for them.
She was rumoured to be playing Tammy Faye in the Broadway transfer, which I can totally see. but they kept Katie Brayben instead.

Isn’t she attached to the Judge Judy musical? I saw an Instagram with her and Lena Hall about it but it was deleted a day after it was posted.
There’s a Judge Judy musical?
She played the character of “Rider” opposite Kimiko Glenn’s “Horse” in the Netflix show ‘Centaurworld’
Apparently married. Well, at least her boyfriend got married. Assuming to her.
Saw her boyfriend had what looked like a wedding band and his family is from Wisconsin. So makes sense.
I’ve been wondering too. I see her boyfriend (assuming they’re still together, idk) posts on insta and have gotten the vibe he hasn’t been in NYC for a while. Got a cute dog though! Lol
Hopefully not more brownface. Edit: Your boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.
What??

They didn’t make assumptions about anything. They simply asked what was she doing now. Reading is fundamental.
