Kaye first rose to prominence with her delightful performance as Lily Garland in the original production of On The 20th Century. This early success set the stage for a string of acclaimed performances, including scene-stealing roles in Ragtime, the infectious Mamma Mia!, and the heartwarming Cinderella.
But it's on the grand stage of musicals where Kaye truly shines. Her portrayal of the passionate Carlotta Giudicelli in the iconic The Phantom of the Opera earned her a coveted Tony Award in 1988. She later secured a second Tony in 2012 for her hilarious and scene-stealing turn as the high-flying Duchess Estonia Dulworth in the joyous Nice Work If You Can Get It. Her ability to shift between powerful vocals and comedic timing has made her a favorite among audiences and critics alike.
Beyond these award-winning roles, Kaye has brought her talents to a wide range of productions, including Souvenir, Lost in Yonkers, and recent appearances in Wicked and Anastasia. Her operatic background shines through in her performances, with roles like Eurydice in Orpheus In The Underworld and Musetta in La Boheme showcasing her impressive vocal range.
