"Every show that I book, I just assume it will be the last show I ever book. It always feels like a brand new experience, and even more exciting than the last. Especially for my ninth Broadway show."

Name: Katie Webber
Show: The Great Gatsby
Opening Night: August 12, 2024

Broadway Debut: Wicked, 2005.
Professional Training: BA in Dance from San Jose State University. But my best training came from my hometown dance teacher Elaine McCarthy of Elaine's Dance Studio!
Year joined Equity: 2005
How I got my Equity card: “When I lived in California, I went (as a non-union member) to the ECC for Wicked in LA. Six months later I received a call that I got the job on Broadway and they would need me to start days later. I packed a suitcase, got on a plane, and never looked back! That's how I got my Equity card!”

Fun Fact: "In the last few years I have self-published and released three cookbooks that I photographed, wrote and tested – all in my kitchen at home!"
