Broadway Bound With Faith Prince Cast

For the past four decades, Faith Prince has dazzled audiences on both stage and screen in a variety of memorable comedic and dramatic roles. She quickly rose to Broadway fame after winning a Tony Award, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls directed by Jerry Zaks and has remained one of the most prolific leading ladies working in the American musical theater. For her Broadway debut in Jerome Robbins Broadway Ms. Prince was nominated for her first Tony Award and Drama Desk Award and has since starred in over a dozen Broadway shows: Nick & Nora (Outer Critics Circle nomination), Guys and Dolls, What’s Wrong with This Picture, The King and I, Little Me, James Joyce’s The Dead, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics nominations), Noises Off, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, A Catered Affair (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics nominations), Annie, and Disaster. Also in New York, she originated the role of Trina in William Finn and James Lapine’s Falsettoland and can be heard on the cast recording. Equally present on screen, Ms. Prince made her television debut guest starring opposite Pierce Brosnan on the hit series Remington Steele, followed by playing Angela Virago in the 1985 film The Last Dragon. She has appeared in numerous films including Dave with Kevin Kline, My Father the Hero with Gerard Depardieu, Picture Perfect with Jennifer Aniston, Our Very Own, It Had to Be You, Material Girls, and Disney’s TinkerBell and the Great Fairy Rescue.
