Queen Donna
Donna has fond childhood memories of turning a behemoth of a coffee table into a stage for enthusiastic performances that were inspired by the likes of Liza Minelli, Rita Moreno, and The Von Trapp Family Singers. Influenced and encouraged by her big sister Lisa, high school musicals and community choirs followed, as did many years of enjoying music and theatre from the audience perspective. In 2005, Donna found The Broadway Chorus, and she has been singing and dancing and making believe with them ever since.
If you ask her which Broadway Chorus role has been her favourite, Donna will likely answer with whichever role she happens to be working on when you come to her with the question. This time around, Donna is having a blast playing one of three Queens who have some pretty absurd ideas about how best to rule a planet. Other Broadway Chorus roles that are high on her gratitude list include Mrs. Newberry in December 2025's Pinocchio: Puppet Detective, a Storyteller/Servant in the Beyond the Meadow revival in May, 2024, and going back to 2016, Heidi in We're Doomed!
Donna loves the collaborative energy that is a part of every show, and the leap of faith that is required of everyone involved. This work feeds each Broadway Chorus member in a unique and special way, and we're forever grateful to all of you who come out to see our shows... without an audience, there is no show. Thank you all!
