Samantha Marie Ware

The Los Angeles Daily News has called her “luminous,” while the Orange County Register has applauded her “pure, piercing voice”. And Los Angeles Times theater critic Charles McNulty hailed her as “a breakout star.”

After scoring a prominent spot on TV’s biggest musical extravaganza, Glee, Samantha Marie Ware became a breakout star on the 6th and final season along with a few other familiar Broadway faces. Ware makes her debut at 54 Below to share a little about her journey from being a small town girl on her “Little Planet” in Nebraska to landing her first role in The Lion King as Nala… from making her Broadway debut in Matt Stone & Trey Parker’s Book of Mormon to packing up & moving to Hollywood for Glee! Expect to hear a little of everything, including gospel music, soul, funk and R&B… classic rock, a few sonatas, a few originals… and of course, musical theatre!
