Kelli O'Hara

Playing characters allows me to do things I may not always do, while singing in concerts allows me to really find my own voice and grow.

When I was a kid, I would sing in people's living rooms and for different little family things.

We didn't have a lot of live theater in Oklahoma. I didn't visit New York when I was growing up. I watched movie musicals, and I believed in an idealistic, idyllic version of Broadway.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
