Manage episode 426782291 series 3136101
Kristy Cates is a professional actress who’s based in New York City. She made her Broadway debut in the original cast of the smash hit, WICKED, as the understudy to Idina Menzel, and can be heard on the iconic cast recording. She went on to play the lead role of Elphaba on Broadway, in the first national tour, and in Chicago. Her other main stem credits include Miss Bassett in FINDING NEVERLAND and Grandma Josephine in CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. She is also a professional voiceover artist and has been heard on national tv/radio commercials for such brands as Subway, Almay Cosmetics, Chase Bank, PNC, and more. Not to mention that she is an original member of the New York Film Academy’s Musical Theatre faculty dating back to 2009, where she is the current Chair of Musical Theatre for the Professional Conservatory of Musical Theatre. In 2019, she was named “Young Alumni of the Year” by her esteemed alma mater, the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, for her combined accomplishments in performance and teaching. I had the great pleasure of interviewing her about a lot of this and more.
