'Gypsy' marks Lewis' Music Circus debut. [..] Lewis was born and raised in Cincinnati. She lived in New York City for 13 years and made her Broadway debut in 'Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?' in 1982. The show ran for five performances over four days before it closed. She continued to work in the theater before auditioning in New York for director James L. Brooks, who was casting singers for his 1994 movie musical 'I'll Do Anything,' starring Nolte and Albert Brooks. Lewis landed a role and moved to Los Angeles. She lived on one coast or the other over the next several years, as TV, movie and Broadway roles came her way. She now has a home in Marina del Rey, and she's thrilled to be back on stage, and singing.
