She worked at Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood. Michelle was also lead singer for the BMG recording artists group "Fem 2 Fem" and can also be heard on many TV movies, documentaries and feature films. Michelle is most proud of her theatre background, having performed in a wide variety of productions, ranging from the opera "Candide" to the rock musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Her favorite roll was Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" but is most remembered as Grizabella in "Cats" and Fantine in "Les Miserables." Michelle is also remembered as Reuben's wife in the Original Broadway Cast of "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" starring Michael Damian in 1993. She was also in the original Broadway cast recording of that show, available in most record stores. For the past 15 years, Michelle has been performing in the cruise industry.
