Michelle Jennings

I'm a performer who loves to collaborate with others to offer an experience specific to each audience and/or client. I'm also very proactive and well-prepared, happy to make suggestions for repertoire and/or style.

New Yorker Michelle Jennings has been called “a commanding and attractive presence on stage with an expressive voice of great beauty and power,” (Baltimore Sun). In 2024 Michelle played Genie Klein in White Plains PAC’s Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, where she later returned to be Lady Beaconsfield in Jekyll & Hyde; Mrs. Fairfax in Off-Brand Opera’s Jane Eyre (NYC); and finished the year playing perky HR Director Cheryl in Playhouse On Park’s The Ugly Xmas Sweater Musical (CT). Other recent performances include Dee Dee Allen in The Prom at Media Theatre (PA), Ariel in Fireside Theatre’s Grumpy Old Men (WI); Fiordiligi in Cosi fan Tutte, with Ninth Avenue Opera in NYC and Cleveland; Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music with Black Rock Theatre (CT); an off-stage swing for four roles in Milwaukee Rep’s production of Titanic, The Musical (going on as Ida Straus); and Donatella in the NYC premiere of Mike and Mindy’s Wild Weekend Jam, at The Players’ Theatre. In film/TV, she originated the role of Thjodhild in the film, Freydis and Gudrid, a musical film, which was released on Amazon Prime Video in 2024, and she was Abbi’s mom in Evil Lives Here, releasing early 2025 on Investigation Discovery TV and HBOMax.

I'm married to a pianist, who is available to accompany me. I also have my own portable speaker and microphone and can sing to tracks, if that is required. In a room with good acoustics, I often do not require a microphone or any amplification.
