Christia Mantzke is a life-long entertainer who loves bringing joy to audiences wherever she goes. A multi-hyphenate performer, she has done everything from starring on the Broadway stage to launching her recording career that led to a Top 20 song in three countries and the privilege of performing for our troops on her own USO tour.
Over the past thirty years she has performed in almost a hundred shows in theaters on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and in National Tours of the United States and around the world. Her favorite credits include Fame, Smokey Joes Cafe´, Beehive, Les Mise´rables, Elton John’s Elaborate Lives: Aida, and My Way: The Music of Frank Sinatra.
As a recording artist, Christia is a Billboard Award winning singer/songwriter who was featured on EMI Music’s compilation Only Girls 7 along with such artists as Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue, and has sung back up for Barry Manilow and The Righteous Brothers. She is thrilled to share a sample of her life and times in the theater with the people of the Coachella Valley and the Coachella Valley Repertory!
