a little about me
Hi, I'm Sarah kleist—
But don't you worry—I am still fulllllllly pursuing my dream onstage. (In fact, don't be surprised if you run into me on my laptop at a Midtown coffee shop in between auditions. 😏
Whether it's an old tale told in a new, innovative way, or a narrative that looks, feels, and sounds more modern, I believe that the way to reach today's audiences is to bring them characters they can relate to from composers who are influenced by the now. If you're looking for that kind of performer, you've come to the right place.
Favorite recent projects include KINKY BOOTS at North Shore Music Theatre, BROADWAY FOR BIDEN music directed by Alex Lacamoire, the LITTLE BLACK BOOK album starring Orfeh & Jessica Vosk, and HEATHERS at White Plains PAC.

BROADWAY REMIX
We all need a passion project—turning Broadway hits into pop anthems is mine. With the help of my music producer, Lloyd Kikoler, we've turned a collection of iconic Broadway songs into fully produced hits.
