Playbill has the following to say: “Over the past decade I've had the pleasure of catching several thrilling actresses in the role of single mom Donna Sheridan in the international hit Mamma Mia!, but none may have been as perfectly cast as Broadway's current leading lady, JUDY McLANE.” Having performed over 4,000 performances on Broadway in the hit ABBA musical, first as Tanya & then as Donna, Judy is the longest-running lead performer in Mamma Mia! history! Other Broadway credits include Kiss of the Spider Woman, Aspects of Love & Chess. She received critical acclaim as well as a Drama Desk Nomination & a Drama League Award for her brilliant performance in off-Broadway’s Johnny Guitar. Judy’s national tour & numerous regional credits read like a who’s who of musical theatre leading characters, including: Into the Woods (the Baker’s Wife), Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond (The Narrator), The Light in the Piazza (Margaret), Next to Normal (Diana), Follies (Phyllis), Evita (Eva), Victor/Victoria (Victoria), Man of La Mancha (Aldonza), Nine (Luisa), Oliver! (Nancy), Chess (Florence), Brigadoon (Fiona), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Milly), Tommy (Mrs. Walker), Rags (Rebecca), Jesus Christ Superstar (Mary), & Jekyll & Hyde (Lucy) among lots and LOTS of others. Judy has appeared as a soloist with many symphony orchestras, including the Bolshoi Orchestra in Moscow, the National Orchestra of Lyn, France, the National Symphony of Canada, the National Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Ft. Worth, Indianapolis, Memphis, Milwaukee, Naples, Oklahoma City, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Seattle, St. Louis, Southwest Florida, Toronto & Chautauqua Symphony orchestras. And lastly, Judy knocked Carnegie Hall on it’s ear when she appeared there in Chess in Concert.
