CARLY SAKOLOVE (Ethel)
Carly has been a fan of Ethel Merman since she could vibrato. In fact, Carly pays tribute to her and many other Broadway and pop divas in her one woman show, “I’m Every Woman” which she has performed across the country and at sea. Her viral YouTube video “Broadway Divas Send in the Clowns” featuring her diva impersonations, has been hailed by Time magazine and The New York Times. Off-Broadway: The Marvelous Wonderettes (Betty Jean), NEWSical the Musical and Girls Night: The Musical (Carol). She was recently seen in the national tour and Royal Caribbean companies of Mamma Mia! as Rosie. Favorite credits: Mazeppa in Gypsy (Sharon Playhouse) and Helena in The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Speakeasy Stage) and Robert Anne in Nunsense (Feinstein’s 54 Below). Boston Conservatory graduate. This one goes out to my family and my dear Anne. “You’re the best.”
