MELISSA MINYARD Has appeared on Broadway and across the country playing the role of Cossette in LES MISERABLES.

​

On Broadway, she had the privilege to perform the role in the closing company alongside legendary Broadway performer Terrance Mann. Most recently Melissa was nominated for a Carbonell award in Miami for her role as Fantine in the Actors Playhouse production of Les Miserables.. Melissa has performed in the concert series at the Caldwell theatre as Dot in SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, Bakers wife  in INTO THE WOODS, and as Sally in FOLLIES.  

​

Other favorite roles include Bella in a NYC adaptation of Aristophanes’  Lysistrata titled LYZ, Kathy in THE LAST FIVE YEARS , Vienna in JOHNNY GUITAR,  Joanna in SWEENEY TODD, Amy in COMPANY,  and Katheryn/Lilly in KISS ME KATE” to name a few. Television credits include regional commercials and “One Life to Live” where she got to say the most riveting line in Soap opera history:  “Excuse me, is that a dead body?”  

​

She has also paid homage to the Mouse, performing at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and At Tokyo Disney in Japan. 

​

So far the best part of this life journey has been meeting Bryan, her husband of 11 years, and the arrival of two lovely daughters, Catherine and Edina.
