KELLI RABKE
Kelli Rabke was handpicked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to make her Broadway debut as the Narrator in the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (U.S. Cast Recording). She recently reprised the role to great acclaim at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. On Broadway, she also starred as Éponine in Les Misérables and has performed in regional theaters across the country. Notably, she originated the role of Yonah in the American premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s Children of Eden at Paper Mill Playhouse (American Premiere Recording)—the same theater where she got her big break playing Dorothy in their landmark production of The Wizard of Oz.
Other favorite roles include Mabel in Mack & Mabel at Barrington Stage Company and Christine in Phantom (Kopit/Yeston) at Pittsburgh CLO. Recent highlights of her career include appearing in the Emmy-nominated PBS American Songbook special Stephen Schwartz and Friends, where she performed with the composer at the piano, and serving as a featured soloist on the Grammy-nominated album Sondheim Unplugged.
After stepping away from the stage to raise a family, Kelli has become a sought-after concert performer, appearing with symphony orchestras nationwide and creating acclaimed cabaret shows. Among them is Tiny Giants: Petite Powerhouses from Garland to Gaga, which has been praised by critics for its powerful storytelling and vocal artistry.
Of all her accomplishments, Kelli is most proud of her two greatest productions: her son Joseph and daughter Abigale.
