Stubbins’ professional career includes Broadway’s “Mary Poppins,” pre-Broadway world premiere musical “Memphis,” singing an opening act solo for Frank Sinatra, headlining an opening act for Rita Moreno and working with such legendary artists as Dick Van Dyke, Kristin Chenoweth and Ben Vereen.

She was in the original Broadway cast of “Lysistrata Jones.” Off-Broadway and regional performances include “Chicago” (Roxie) and “Legally Blonde” (Elle Woods) for which she was named Broadway World award winner for “Best Actress in a Musical.”
Stubbins and Servais will be joined on stage by a live three-piece band featuring Bigfork local, K.C. Isaman on bass, Paul Merendino on drums, and Todd Schreiber on piano.
