In 2007, she was cast in the Broadway musical adaptation of 'A Tale of Two Cities' in Sarasota, FL, at the Asolo Repertory Theatre. She received a 2007 Sarasota Magazine Award for Best Supporting Actress in the Theatre for her performance, and received very good reviews.

In March 2008, the opening for previews on August 19, 2008 was set at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York, with an official opening of September 18.^[1] The show closed, after mainly negative reviews, on November 9, 2008.

On November 23, Toro released her second solo-CD, which was self-titled "Natalie Toro." The album contains the song "Out of Sight Out of Mind" from A Tale of Two Cities.
