Amber Ardolino, most recently seen on Broadway as Marcia Murphey in A Beautiful Noise, joins the cast of the hit Off-Broadway musical Titanìque March 21.
Ardolino steps into the role of Céline Dion at the Daryl Roth Theatre, succeeding Dee Roscioli, who played her final performance in the part March 16.
Ardolino's other Broadway credits include Hamilton and the original companies of Back to the Future, Funny Girl, Moulin Rouge!, and Head Over Heels. She was also seen as Sherrie in the Las Vegas production of Rock of Ages and in the national tours of Flashdance, Legally Blonde, and West Side Story.
