PERFORMER

Mazie Rudolph (née Wilson) received her degree in Drama at UC Irvine, where her credits included Frieda and Harriet Pawling in Sunday in the Park With George, Peggy in As It Is in Heaven, Mae in Reefer Madness, and Marmee in Little Women. She has most recently been seen on stage as Diana in Next to Normal, Eponine in Les Misérables, Lindsay in Godspell, and Jo in Little Women.

Mazie has been featured as a soloist with the Pacific Symphony under the direction of conductor Carl St. Clair. She also traveled to Washington, D.C. where she was a soloist at the Kennedy Center for their Broadway: Songs of Today and Tomorrow concert series. Mazie recorded a single, "You Dream It," with Disney Records on their album Sleeping Beauty and Friends, and can also be heard as a soloist and back-up singer on the album Cousins: The Songs of Beck and May. 

"A spectacular Mazie Rudolph's star turn as a woman struggling with manic depression is just one reason Broadway's Next to Normal makes for one of Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center's best... Rudolph proves every bit up to the role's considerable challenges, playing Diana with gut-punching power, emotional range, and glorious vocals to match." – StageScene LA

"Mazie Rudolph puts her heart and soul into her performance as Diana, as rich and nuanced as you will ever see in the theater... She possesses a magnificently versatile voice that spans the entire spectrum of Kitt and Yorkey’s varied score... Her understanding of Diana’s dilemma is palpable and ultimately heartbreaking." – The Acorn

“The Costa Mesa production boasts a solid cast and a blockbuster performance from the actress playing Jo – Mazie [Rudolph]. Not only does [Rudolph] command the stage dramatically, her voice – particularly in solo numbers such as 'Astonishing,' which closes the first act – is indeed astonishing.” – Los Angeles Times

“As the street-hardened Eponine, Mazie [Rudolph] offers a wrenching version of ‘On My Own’ and one of the cast’s strongest performances.” – VC Reporter
