Ann Harada
Ann Harada is currently giving "a hoot of a performance" (NY 1 News) in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella as the evil stepsister Charlotte, but fans may remember her better as the heavily accented Japanese therapist in the hit show, Avenue Q. She also appeared in the Dolly Parton musical 9 to 5 and on the TV show Smash. Here's an opportunity to sample her wild comedic talents up close on The Allen Room stage.
