Susie Penney is no stranger to the theater. When she was just 4 years old, she played the role of the youngest child in The King and I. On a more informal setting, she remembers being asked by her parents to sing for friends and family during their get-togethers (she was happy to oblige.) She had her first paid gig in the NBC Christmas Special while she was in the 8th grade. Although she has been in a number of performances in both opera and musical theatre, her most memorable role was as Adina in the Elixir of Love, where she was challenged to expand her vocal and acting range. Throughout her career, she never ventured far from music, serving as a Marketing Manager for a musical publishing co. for 10 years and now as the Choir Director of the St. Mel Children’s Choirs.
