Katerina McCrimmon

Katerina McCrimmon is thrilled to be returning to LA for her debut with the LA Phil, after her 2024 run at the Ahmanson as Fanny Brice in the national tour of Funny Girl. For that performance, she was praised by Entertainment Weekly as “the next greatest star” with a “once-in-a-generation voice."

More recently, Katerina starred as Esther in The Muny's production of Meet Me in St. Louis, having played the title role in Evita there the year before. Earlier this year, Katerina originated the role of Joanne in the Off-Broadway production of the new musical Bigfoot!, and last fall she appeared as Nina in the 20th Anniversary Concert of In the Heights, directed by Tony Award winner Karen Olivo (KO). Other theater credits include The Rose Tattoo (Broadway), The Counterfeit Opera (Little Island), and The Light in the Piazza (New York City Center Encores!), as well as developmental works at The Eugene O’Neill Center and Williamstown Theatre Festival. Katerina debuted her solo show, Katerina McCrimmon: NAKED, at Joe’s Pub, reprised it at Lincoln Center and other venues across the country, and released her first jazz album, Kat's Out of the Bag! this year.
