Emily Skinner is an American actress.

Biography[]

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Skinner gained success and renowned as a musical theatre performer, though she also appeared in straight plays such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Dirty Blonde as well as the films The Adulterer and Ten Stories Tall.

Singing[]

First appearing as Emily in the original cast of A Christmas Carol, Skinner understudied both leading female roles in Jekyll & Hyde before understudying roles including Mary Jane in James Joyce's The Dead, Vicki Nichols in The Full Monty, Mlle. Lea in My Life With Albertine and Monique McCandless in Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. She also played such roles as Agnes Gooch in Mame, Alexandra in The Witches of Eastwick and Ursula in The Little Mermaid (having previously played the role during the demo.)

Skinner frequently had roles in concert productions of musicals, including No Strings, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Fiorello! Her appearance with Alice Ripley in Side Show (which earned them a shared Tony Award nomination) led to the two of them collaborating on two albums: Duets and Unsuspecting Hearts. She also released a solo album in 2001.
