Cynthia Vaughn, soprano

Cynthia Vaughn has performed on the musical theater and opera stage for forty years.

First there were the ingenue years, including a lot of Gilbert & Sullivan and sassy maids. During the leading lady phase, Kiss Me Kate met Pamina. Then came the “Mom-genue” era —Mrs. Darling and everyone’s mother. The ensemble casts required a bit of dancing and wearing many “hats”— Les Mis wins for most costume changes. Finally, Cynthia has reached that pinnacle of stage achievement. For over a decade now she has performed the delightful, ditzy, dastardly, wonderful and wise Old Lady Roles: Mother Abbess/Sound of Music, Aunt Eller/Oklahoma!, Martha Watson/Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, The Bird Woman and evil nanny Miss Andrew/Mary Poppins, Lady Abbess/ The Comedy of Errors, and Grandma Addams/ The Addams Family. With reverence to and inspiration from Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith, and Jamie Lee Curtis, Cynthia might just be getting started!
