Kelli O'Hara

Kelli O'Hara has established herself as one of Broadway's greatest leading ladies. The Tony Award-winner, Emmy- and Grammy-nominated actress has appeared in 11 Broadway shows for which she has garnered seven Tony Award nominations.

She won the 2015 Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical, along with Grammy, Drama League and Outer Critics nominations for her portrayal of Anna Leonowens in The King and I. O’Hara’s other Broadway credits include Kiss Me Kate, The Bridges of Madison County, Nice Work if You Can Get It, South Pacific, The Pajama Game, The Light in the Piazza, Sweet Smell of Success, Follies, Dracula, and Jekyll & Hyde.

O’Hara received an Emmy Award nomination for her portrayal of Katie Bonner in Topic's hit web series "The Accidental Wolf" and can currently be seen on HBO’s "The Gilded Age." Additional film and television credits include Showtime's "Master of Sex," "13 Reasons Why," "Blue Bloods," "All My Children," "All the Bright Places," "Peter Pan Live!," "Sex and the City 2," Martin Scorsese's "The Key to Reserva", "The Good Fight," "N3mbers," and "Car Talk."

In 2015, she made history as the first artist to make the crossover from Broadway to opera when she made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Lehar's The Merry Widow opposite Renee Fleming. In 2018 she returned as Despina in Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte. She was last seen at the Metropolitan Opera in the world premiere of Kevin Puts’ The Hours as Laura Brown.

O’Hara is a frequent performer on PBS's live telecasts, The Kennedy Center Honors, and performs often alongside the New York Philharmonic and the New York Pops. Along with her two Grammy nominations, her solo albums "Always" and "Wonder in the World" are available on Ghostlight.

O’Hara recently completed a critically-appraised limited Broadway engagement of the new musical Days of Wine and Roses which also garnered rave reviews during its off-Broadway run at the Atlantic Theatre Company last summer and has been a labor of love for O'Hara and composer Adam Guettel, who dedicated the last 21 years to its development. She will next be seen in The Hours at the Metropolitan Opera and season three of "The Gilded Age."
