Musical actress Lana Gordon

Lana Gordon is a singer, and actress, a dancer, and all that jazz.

And while she's played many roles on the stage, she's best known for playing Velma Kelly in the Broadway revival of Chicago.

An alumna of New York City's Alvin Ailey School, Ms. Gordon was in several ensemble companies before her career took off.  Her first notable role was as Dionne in a European tour of Hair. 

Ms. Gordon debuted on Broadway in 1997 as an ensemble original cast member in The Lion King, in which she also played the role of Shenzi.  She also spent a decade performing abroad in productions of such musicals as Sister Act, West Side Story (as Anita, a role made famous by the great Rita Moreno), and Carmen Cubana, a retelling of the old Prosper Mérimée story in a Caribbean setting - our heroine played the title role.  She's also in demand as a solo vocalist in Europe.

And oh yes, this shouldn't surprise you, but Lana Gordon has also worked as a model in the U.S., both in print and television advertising.  And like the most beautiful of top models . . .

. . . she looks even more gorgeous without makeup. :-D

And all that jazz. :-)
