B.J. Ward: Stand-Up Opera
- Public Event
A rollicking ride on the high C's
- The Washington Post
As an actress and singer, B.J. Ward has worked with such composers as Stephen Sondheim, Maltby & Shire, Barry Manilow and Jerry Herman. She began singing opera as a teenager, but took an Off-Broadway detour to play The Girl in The Fantasticks. After spending three years with The Groundlings, B.J. went on to TV where she has played an assortment of doctors, lawyers, newscasters, moms, neighbors and numerous victims of heinous crimes.
Many shows later she decided to return to her first love, but with a new approach—combining opera with stand-up comedy. Since then, Stand-Up Opera has been playing in opera houses and concert centers from coast to coast, including such venues as The Kennedy Center, Carnegie Recital Hall and the annual Puccini Festival at Lincoln Center.
