Kathleen Monteleone is an actress, singer/songwriter, producer and writer who captivates audiences with her memorable performances and storytelling.


Kathleen’s career kick-started when she competed for the role of Sandy on NBC’s GREASE: You’re the One That I Want. Soon after, she landed the role of Elle Woods in the national tour of Legally Blonde The Musical and made her Broadway debut originating the role of Heather Stovall in Hands On A Hardbody. She’s been seen in TNT’s Good Behavior alongside Michelle Dockery and Comedy Central’s Goatface with Hasan Minhaj.
