Susan Egan has traversed all four corners of the entertainment industry, making powerful impressions in theatre, film, television and music.

Egan starred on Broadway in the title role of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at the Marquis Theatre in Times Square. She has also won critical acclaim on Broadway as 'Sally Bowles' in "Cabaret," in "Triumph of Love" and "State Fair," and most notably, as the original 'Belle' in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," garnering Tony and Drama Desk nominations for "Best Actress." Among her regional credits, Egan starred alongside Carol Burnett in "Putting It Together" at the Mark Taper Forum, Tommy Tune in the national tour of "Bye, Bye Birdie," and reprised her role of Belle for the Los Angeles premiere of "Beauty and the Beast." She has also performed in concert with dozens of symphony orchestras across the country including three engagements at the Hollywood Bowl.

Susan has also been busy in film, having been featured in a number of award-winning independent productions, as well as taking the lead in such films as "Gotta Kick It Up" for the Disney Channel.

In animation, Egan gave the sultry voice to 'Meg' in Disney's "Hercules," sang the role of Angel in "Lady and the Tramp II," and rendered 'Lin' English for the American release of the Japanese blockbuster "Spirited Away," which won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Egan has also recorded the English translation for another Miyazaki film, "Porco Rosso," which was released in 2004.

On television, Egan spent two seasons on the WB's "Nikki," and has appeared on "NYPD Blue," "Party of Five," "Drew Carey," "Partners," "All My Children," "Loving," and "Great Performances: Rodgers and Hart," and many other television series, as well as movies of the week and specials for ABC, CBS, and the Disney Channel.

Egan's third solo CD, "Coffee House", was recently released on LML Records and has received high critical praise. She can be heard on over thirty other recordings for Fynsworth Alley, JAY, Disney compilation disks, and a variety of Broadway cast recordings and motion picture soundtracks.
