Lesli Margherita Brings YULE YOUR KINGDOM to The Green Room 42 This Holiday Season

THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - will present Lesli Margherita in "Yule Your Kingdom" for two shows on Friday, December 14 and Saturday, December 15, both at 11:30 PM. In this tinsel sparkly edition of Rule Your Kingdom, Olivier Award winner 'Queen' Lesli Margherita (Zorro, Matilda, Dames at Sea) inspires, uplifts, and slaps you across the face with a Yule Log. From memorable favorites with a holiday twist to brand new stories bound to become the classics you recite as you down spiked Egg Nog, Margherita's 70 minute show-stopping set will leave you screaming, "YASSSSS HOLIDAYS!!!" Written by Margherita, "Yule Your Kingdom" is directed and produced by Lauren Bass, featuring musical direction and arrangements by Brett Ryback.

Lesli Margherita is an Olivier Award winner for her West End debut as Inez in Zorro The Musical. She made her Broadway debut originating the role of Mrs. Wormwood in Matilda The Musical. After over 1000 performances, she bid farewell to the Broadway company of Matilda and crossed the street to The Helen Hayes to star as the diva Mona Kent in the Broadway premiere of Dames at Sea. Last winter, Lesli was seen off-Broadway starring as Cindy Lou Who in the one woman tour-de-force Who's Holiday. Her hilarious show-stopping performance earned her critical acclaim as well as a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance, a Lortel nomination for Outstanding Solo Show and an Off-Broadway Alliance nomination for Best Solo Performance. Lesli most recently starred opposite Yvette Nicole Brown in the ABC sitcom pilot "Most Likely To." She currently recurs on three television dramas: "Homeland" (Showtime), "Instinct" (CBS), and "Seven Seconds" (Netflix). Last fall Lesli starred opposite Topher Grace, Taye Diggs and JC Chasez in the feature film Opening Night, available on Netflix and iTunes.

Born and raised in California, Lesli trained at UCLA and was soon after chosen to star in MGM's television series "Fame LA" directed by Kenny Ortega. She has gone on to star and recur on numerous television shows and films including "Elementary," "Donny!," "The Good Wife," "Major Crimes," and "NYPD Blue." Film credits include Lucky Stiff with Jason Alexander, Joel Schumacher's The Number 23, and the Sam Raimi-produced Boogeyman 2. Lesli's voice can also be heard on several animated films and shows including Disney's Cinderella 3 and Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob Squarepants."

Lesli is a published author with two books currently available on iTune and Amazon: Neck Punch and Carry On: Advice from the "Queen," a series of inspirational messages inspired from her Twitter feed, @QueenLesli, and Blu!, about a unique lobster who teaches us that we are all special. Lesli's critically acclaimed solo shows continue to play to crowds across the country. Her debut live album, Rule Your Kingdom, is currently in stores and available on all digital platforms.
