Butterfly," and boasts a resume overflowing with Broadway and regional credits, including original companies of "9-5," "Seussical," "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella," and revivals of "Into the Woods," and "Les Miserables." But it is arguably her iconic performance as Christmas Eve in "Avenue Q" for which Harada is most lauded - including an Outer Critics Circle Award.

Why I‘ll Never Make ItAnn Harada Learns That Her Greatest Asset as an Actor Is Being HerselfAnn Harada will be the first to tell you that finding happiness and satisfaction in the acting business didn’t come quickly or easily for her.

But between those two shows was a ten-year gap, and it wasn’t until her next Broadway show that Ann Harada truly made a name for herself as Christmas Eve in Avenue Q. In our conversation, she talks about those lean years before Avenue Q but also...2024-03-0437 min
