Beth Kirkpatrick is a multi-talented performer based in New York City. She recently played Nina Formby in ‘Parade’ on Broadway, and is best known for understudying Madame Thenardier in Broadway's 'Les Miserables' and the Original Cast Recording (and both original premiers) of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ as the Madam. In the fall of 2022 she stood by for Mare Winningham, Mary Beth Piel, and Alma Cuervo in Classic Stage Company’s ‘A Man of No Importance.’ Career highlights include playing Mrs. Gloop on the National Tour of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and understudying Betty Buckley as Dolly Levi in the National Tour of “Hello, Dolly”. Tours with 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'The Sound of Music' (as the Mother Abbess) are a testament to her classical training. But this one-time aspiring opera singer is equally at home winning a Cincinnati Entertainment Award while belting "I Just Wanna Dance" as Shawntel/Eve in 'Jerry Springer: the Opera". She has a passion for new musicals, and has been collaborating with the NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program for over 13 years. Concert work includes her hit show ‘Beth Kirkpatrick: The Big Gay Setup’ and a one-woman show entitled 'The Broads of Broadway' along with performances with the New Jersey Festival Orchestra and the Blue Ash Montgomery Symphony Orchestra.
