Singer, actress, songwriter, musician, Lauren Molina made her Broadway debut in John Doyle's critically acclaimed revival of "Sweeney Todd", creating the role of Johanna.
The New York Times called her "a sweet voiced soprano who plays the cello beautifully." The New Yorker hailed her as "...a highly intelligent actress...who taps into Johanna with an all-consuming honesty and range". In 2008, Lauren won Best Supporting Actress in a Musical from the Independent Reviewers of New England for her portrayal of Johanna during the "Sweeney Todd" National Tour.
Lauren can now be found belting it out in the hit new 80's rock musical, "Rock of Ages" opening on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson, March 2009
