AVA LANE STOVALL (she/her, Grizabella) is purr-fectly delighted (sorry, she couldn’t resist) to return to Music Theater Works after appearing as “Enid” in LEGALLY BLONDE last winter. Most recently, you may have seen her as “Lucy Harris” in Kokandy’s production of JEKYLL & HYDE. Other Chicago credits: ALICE BY HEART (Kokandy), New Faces Sing Broadway NOW!, the ICONS Gala (’24 and ’25), and Broadway in Your Backyard 2025 (Porchlight), ROCK OF AGES (Metropolis). Select regional favorites: THE LITTLE MERMAID, LITTLE WOMEN, MARY POPPINS, and MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Ava recently originated the role of “Camilla Burlington” in DKG’s murder mystery musical radio play THE MURDER AT MONROE MANOR. Offstage, Ava is a devoted voice teacher (to the best students in the world), an aspiring writer for stage and screen, a multi-instrumentalist, and a shameless cheese-and-cracker aficionado. She dedicates every performance to those who have loved her through it all. Represented by TalentXAlexander. IG: @AvaLaneStovall — let’s be friends!
