Inside Broadway Series
Lisa Vroman
INSIDE BROADWAY is a new cabaret series at the MACC, hosted by Dr. Andrew Kurtz and pianist Julie Bearden Carver, that gets up close and personal with Broadway performers. Join us for an intimate evening of storytelling, secrets, and song.
Lisa’s Broadway debut was in Aspects of Love, and she was the first to play both Fantine and Cosette in Les Miserables. She went on to star for several years on Broadway as Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera. As Christine, she garnered Theatre Critics’ awards for the role in a record-breaking run in San Francisco, and did a return engagement at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles.
She starred as Rosabella in The Most Happy Fella, making her New York City Opera debut with Paul Sorvino playing the title role; played the role of Charlotte in A Little Night Music with Michigan Opera Theatre, starring Leslie Uggams and Ron Raines; starred as Lili Vanessi in Kiss Me Kate with both Glimmerglass Opera and the MUNY Theater of St. Louis; and played Marian Paroo in The Music Man with Shirley Jones (Mrs. Paroo) and Patrick Cassidy (Harold Hill) at The Bushnell Theatre in Hartford, CT.
Among her many credits, Lisa also sang the role of Birdie in Regina with Utah Opera, conducted by Keith Lockhart, and made her New Jersey Opera debut as Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus (directed by Ira Siff).
With a repertoire that ranges from Stravinsky to Weill to Broadway, Lisa is a frequent guest soloist with theater and opera companies, and orchestras including San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, the National, Malaysia, Seattle, Hong Kong, Cleveland, Nashville, Pacific, Utah, Dallas, the Boston Pops with Keith Lockart, the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, and the Philly Pops with Peter Nero.
