Ann Harada Biography

Ann Harada is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on February 3, 1964 in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. Regarding her role on stage in this Broadway show, Ben Brantley wrote in The New York Times: “Counseling the romantically troubled Kate, she temporarily drops her habitually pinched voice to deliver, in the show’s wittiest coup de theatre, a full-throated ballad in the manner of a 1950’s musical diva…The more you love someone/The more you want to kill him, Christmas sings in a shivery, rafters- shaking alto. And though you can construe the song as a satire if you choose, there is no doubt that Christmas means every word she sings.” Hilton Als, in The New Yorker in a different review of the show, said it was a show that Avenue Q “has so much to recommend it…But not to single out the remarkable Ann Harada — a funny girl who can sing, act, and let the audience in on the joke all at the same time — would be a mistake.”

Harada was part of the first Broadway production of Seussical in the year 2000. She also participated in the first workshop of the show and all the earlier Broadway productions of the production. In her own words about her experience, she said “It was such a roller-coaster ride — everything that could go wrong went wrong. You’d just show up to work every day and go, ‘I wonder what’s going to happen today. ‘…There was way too much drama for one show to take, and it didn’t deserve that kind of drama because it’s really a great little show. . . . I loved it, and I still love it. . . I just keep thinking about what it was like doing that first workshop and us all just being so blown away by it and being so excited.”

Harada is featured in the Wes Anderson-directed commercials for AT&T, which began airing in September 2007.

On April 24, 2007, Harada joined the Broadway company of Les Misérables playing Madame Thénardier; she replaced the British actress Jenny Galloway. Harada left Les Misérables on October 30, 2007, replaced by Galloway.

The year 1998 was the time Harada performed in the National Asian America Theatre Company’s highly acclaimed All-Asian show of William Finn’s Falsettoland. Peter Marks of The New York Times wrote about her performance in the play “Holding to the Ground” as an “full-throttle success”. In 1998 Harada played a minor role on The Todd Solondz film Happiness as one of the coworkers of Jane Adams’ character.
