Her beloved voice is the voice of a generation for musical theatre fans who obsessed over cast albums in the early 2000s (Bat Boy, Hairspray, that epic, belting Little Shop). She currently stars in Broadway's hit musical adaptation of Beetlejuice
as Barbara Maitland, a recently-deceased ghost who befriends the young Lydia Deetz. Kerry recently dropped by the studio to reveal some hilarious backstage stories, notable mishaps, and cherished memories from her acclaimed stage career.
