Kelli Rabke BIO

KELLI RABKE was handpicked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to make her Broadway debut as the Narrator in the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, followed by Eponine in the Broadway company of Les Misérables. She has performed in regional theatres throughout the country, most notably as Yonah in the American Premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s Children of Eden at the Paper Mill Playhouse, the theatre where she had also gotten her “big break” as Dorothy in their landmark production of The Wizard of Oz.

After leaving the bright lights of the stage to start a family, Kelli is now a staple in the NYC cabaret world. Her first solo show debuted to a sold out crowd at Feinstein’s/54 Below and since then, she’s been featured in everything from Sondheim to Streisand to Bernstein, in addition to creating her own shows.

She performs regularly with symphony orchestras stretching from Calgary to Mazatlan and all across the country in Blockbuster Broadway, Music of the Knights, and The Wonderful Music of Oz. Recent highlights also include debuting an original song written by David Friedman and Kathie Lee Gifford on The Today Show and recording the Emmy nominated PBS American Songbook segment Stephen Schwartz and Friends, featuring the composer himself at the piano and Kelli singing one of his signature songs from Wicked, “The Wizard and I”. Her most recent solo show, Tiny Giants – Petite Powerhouses from Garland to Gaga opened at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in the spring of 2021, and has been garnering raves all year long—including its NYC premiere at The Green Room 42 on October 8.

Kelli is most proud of her biggest “productions” to date: her son, Joseph, and daughter, Abigale! Explore KelliRabke.com for photos, videos, schedule, and more!
