Lesley McKinnell*

Lesley is so thrilled and grateful to be back at PCPA- one of her favorite places ever! She was most recently blessed to perform as the role of Alice Murphy in BRIGHT STAR here at PCPA. Lesley has performed in the 1st and 2nd National Tours of WICKED (u/s Glinda & Nessarose) and the original Broadway touring cast of A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER (Miss Barley, u/s Sibella & Phoebe). She has also performed in Guam & Times Square in NYC with the USO Show Troupe and on Disney’s MAGIC Cruise Line as a Broadway Guest Artist (TANGLED- Mother Gothel & TWICE CHARMED- Lady Tremaine), and other such exotic places as Maine (BARBRA STREISAND TRIBUTE, portraying Barbra Streisand) and North Carolina (GUYS & DOLLS, Adelaide). In Los Angeles, Lesley was in many UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL PARODIES at the now former Rockwell Table & Stage, and was the closing day Elsa in FROZEN LIVE AT THE HYPERION where she had performed that role full time for two years- and where most importantly, she met her husband, with whom- by the immense kindness of PCPA- she gets to share the stage again in this production! Lesley extends her deepest gratitude to the entire PCPA staff to be able to reprise this very special role and thanks them for their abundant graciousness! Col 3:17
