Maria is incredibly honored for the opportunity to play this role. Her most recent MusicalFare roles include Carole King in BEAUTIFUL (Artie Nomination), Adelaide (GUYS & DOLLS) and Feste (TWELFTH NIGHT). Maria would like to dedicate this performance to her mother Julie and her sister Melissa with whom she gratefully gets to share the stage in this special show. And to all the women who are mothers, friends of mothers, caregivers, mentors, teachers, aunties, sisters, grandmothers, and the women in our lives who are no longer with us, this one is for you too.
