Kelli Rabke - Vocal Coach & Camp Director
KELLI RABKE got her “big break” playing the role of Dorothy in the Paper Mill Playhouse’s acclaimed production of The Wizard of Oz. Shortly thereafter, she was handpicked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to play the lead role of the Narrator in the Broadway revival of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (US Cast Recording). Following that, she played her dream role: Eponine in Les Misérables on Broadway. She went on to perform in regional theaters across the country in such roles as Mabel in Mack And Mabel, Christine in Phantom, and back to Paper Mill Playhouse in Stephen Schwartz’s Children Of Eden as Yonah (American Premiere Recording). She is one of the only Broadway stars to originate a role in both a Stephen Schwartz and an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical — a distinction for which she is incredibly honored.
She has been seen and heard in loads of TV commercials and voice-overs, and was the voice of several animated characters, including Kat in the Discovery Kids series Kenny The Shark. She also played the recurring role of Bernadette on The Young And The Restless. Recent highlights include the Emmy nominated PBS American Songbook segment Stephen Schwartz & Friends, featuring the composer himself at the piano, featured soloist on the Grammy nominated album Sondheim Unplugged, debuting an original song by Kathie Lee Gifford and David Friedman on the Today Show, and reprising her role as the Narrator in Joseph…at La Mirada Center for the Performing Arts.
After leaving the bright lights of the stage to start a family, Kelli is now a staple in the concert and cabaret world. She performs regularly with symphony orchestras stretching from Mazatlan to Calgary and all throughout the country, in addition to creating her own cabaret shows, including the critically acclaimed Tiny Giants – Petite Powerhouses from Garland to Gaga.
She is most proud of her biggest “productions” to date: her son, Joseph, and daughter, Abigale!
