Along with her two Grammy nominations, her solo albums, Always and Wonder in the World, are available on Ghostlight Records.

Season 3 of The Accidental Wolf is now streaming on Topic. Upcoming, season 2 of The Gilded Age on HBO.

“Ms. O’Hara was, of course, magnificent. Hers is one of the most beautiful voices on Broadway today, probably ever. Her musicianship is unparalleled. She is a great actress without being fussy about it. For all her star power, she still seems like the girl next door. She brings a typhoon of passion to everything she does, inviting her audience to share in that deep well of emotion. You leave any performance by Kelli O’Hara feeling more hopeful, more alive, more human.”
