JULIA BOGDANOFF

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:

I proudly hail from the small town of Newtown, Connecticut, where I learned at a young age the meaning of community, resilience, and the healing power of art. At seven years old, I was in my first Missoula Children’s Theatre production of The Little Mermaid, where I thought attendance at the actual performance was optional (have no fear, I have since learned this is very much not the case). After playing Miss Hannigan in the sixth grade, I began my life’s work of playing every 40+ year old diva in the musical theatre cannon (just kidding... kind of). Since then, I have become a multidisciplinary artist who is passionate about singing, acting, dancing, activism, golf, Patti Lupone, Wicked, and Carole King. Aside from my intense love for the musical theatre, I am inspired by artists such as Carole King, Queen, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga, and firmly believe that the 70s is one of the greatest musical decades ever. I am indebted to my parents for teaching me to be the fierce, strong woman I am today, the rest of my family and mentors for their constant support, my fiancé for filling me with love and gratitude daily, and my best friends for bringing so much joy and laughter into my life.
