Meredith Braun

Meredith Braun

Meredith Braun originally from Auckland, began her career in New Zealand as a successful child actor and singer appearing in numerous television shows, films and stage productions before earning a place in 1989 at London's prestigious Italia Conti Stage College. Meredith began her West End career in 1990 with a lead role in the musical 'Bernadette' at the Dominion Theatre. Cameron Mackintosh then cast Meredith as Eponine in Les Miserables a role she played in both London and Manchester. In 1993 she was cast as Betty Schaefer in the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Boulevard. Having been part of an audition process with 300 other potential actresses, Lloyd Webber said of Meredith "When I saw Meredith and heard her I knew she was going to be a star".

Further shows in the West End included playing Christine in The Phantom Of The Opera, 'Out Of The Blue' and 'Killing Rasputin'. Meredith also had a leading role in the 1992 film The Muppet Christmas Carol opposite Michael Caine and the cast of The Muppets. Between 2000-2001 Meredith starred as Lily in the RSC's production of The Secret Garden at both the Theatre Royal Stratford and the Aldwych Theatre, London.

After a ten year absence from performing, Meredith is now recording her debut solo album 'Someone Else's Story' - a mix of contemporary show songs and classical cross over material. The new album features musical direction and arrangements by Paul Bateman (musical director for Sarah Brightman and Lesley Garrett) and will be released on Stage Door Records in early 2012.
