Julia Ellen Richardson is a native of Seattle, WA. She grew up in a huge, very musical family with a great love for the arts. She is currently based in New York City and has been proud to call Manhattan her home base for the last 7 years. 

Before Covid, Julia was most recently seen performing with the North American Tour of Les Misérables as the Swing for the Female Ensemble/Factory Girl Cover. She toured with the show for over a year and a half, performing in over 50 cities. 

Julia has always loved traveling as well as performing. Before Les Mis, she could be seen as a Lead Female Vocalist on Viking Ocean Cruise Line sailing through Northern Europe, the Arctic Circle, the Eastern Seaboard and the Caribbean. She also toured the Southern States with Theatreworks USA's production of A Christmas Carol. Some of her favorite regional contracts included working at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre in St. George, UT, the Jackson Hole Playhouse in Wyoming, the Hale Centre Theatre, and the Scera Centre for the Arts. 

In addition to her talents in Musical Theatre performing, Julia has her own private vocal studio. She has taught voice lessons to students in person and virtually all over the country for the last 3 years. 

Julia’s other loves include baking, reading queer literature, collecting jazz records, doing make-up tutorials, song writing and most importantly, visiting her adorable nieces & nephews!
