Tony Winner Faith Prince Ends Cabaret Series at OCPAC, 4/11

Tony® Award winner Faith Prince will end her return to the Center on April 11 in Samueli Theater. Prince has been dazzling Broadway audiences since she swept the theater awards, winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for her performance as Ms. Adelaide in the critically-acclaimed revival of Guys and Dolls. In 2008, she was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for A Catered Affair. This is Prince's second visit to the Center, following her debut here in February 2008. She replaces Paulo Szot who is unable to appear due to his extended run in South Pacific at Lincoln Center.

She has been called, "Sassy, sexy, and certainly not shy, Faith Prince is a night out that is absolutely without a doubt an unforgettable experience."

Prince has also appeared in The Little Mermaid, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Circle Critics nominations), Nick & Nora (Outer Circle Critics Award), Jerome Robbins' Broadway (Tony and Drama Desk nominations), Little Me, The Dead and Noises Off. She also starred in the world premiere of Terrence McNally's Unusual Acts of Devotion.

She guest starred on Lifetime's hit series Drop Dead Diva in the role of Brooke Elliott's mother, Elaine. Other recent guest starring roles have included Ugly Betty, Medium and CSI. She was a series regular on Showtime's Huff starring as Kelly Knipers, the lovable and quirky love interest of Oliver Platt. Prince recurred for five seasons on Spin City. Other television credits include the self-titled series Faith, Sweet Potato Queens, Grey's Anatomy, House, Monk, Now and Again, Welcome To New York and Law and Order. Film credits include Our Very Own with Allison Janney and Cheryl Hines, Picture Perfect, Dave, and My Father the Hero.

Prince works often with The Boston Pops, the Utah Symphony, the Cincinnati Pops, The Philadelphia Pops and other renowned orchestras. She toured her one-woman show, Moving On, in Australia to rave reviews. She also toured in Over the Rainbow, a concert celebrating the centennial of Harold Arlen.
