Sharon Wheatley height - How tall is Sharon Wheatley?

In July 2018, Wheatley returned to the role of Kate/Lucy for two performances only to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Avenue Q in New York City.

Wheatley married Broadway stage manager Martha Donaldson in 2017, whom she met in 2015, during the debut run of Come from Away.

As a writer, Wheatley started early, writing a book about healthy living while still in high school. However, she quickly realized Broadway was her main goal—not being an author at the age of 17—so she abandoned writing until 2004 when a casual conversation in a dressing room ended up sparking an entire novel, and making writing a major part of her career.

Wheatley published her memoir, 'Til the Fat Girl Sings: From an Overweight Nobody to a Broadway Somebody, in 2006, to positive reviews from outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, and BroadwayWorld.

Wheatley's autobiography, 'Til the Fat Girl Sings (Adams Media), came out on June 1, 2006, and Wheatley followed its release with a year of public appearances and book-launch concerts. The writing of her memoir led to sketch comedy writing for Kristin Chenoweth, writing an award winning skit for the Gypsy of the Year Awards in 2017 with her Come from Away castmates, writing nationally for Weight Watchers from 2011-2015, and blogging on her own website, My Own Space. As a blogger, Wheatley is probably best known for Smash—Fact or Fiction?, a blog/quiz that follows every episode of NBC's Smash (which was created by her close friend and mentor Theresa Rebeck). Smash—Fact or Fiction? was written up in New York Magazine on two occasions and was featured in Marie Claire Magazine.

Sharon Wheatley made her Broadway debut as a swing in 1994, in the original Broadway production of Les Miserables directed by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. Before joining the Broadway company of Les Misérables, Wheatley traveled nationally as part of the touring company where she was a member of the ensemble and understudied the roles of both Eponine and Cosette.

Wheatley moved to New York City in 1991 following a cross country tour with The Sound of Music, and worked side jobs for a while before landing her first Equity job with the national tour of Les Miserables in late 1992.

A Cincinnati, Ohio native, Wheatley graduated from Ursuline Academy in 1985, and in 2015 was inducted into Ursuline's Performing Arts Hall of Fame. Following her high school graduation, Wheatley was accepted into the renowned Musical Theatre program at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). She completed CCM's musical theatre program in 1990. During her four years at CCM she studied voice with famed Barbara Honn, who helped her develop a heathy and versatile singing technique. In 2007, Wheatley was honored with CCM's Young Alumnae Award, which "is given in recognition of excellence in Musical Theatre or a related field by an alum of the Musical Theatre program at CCM in the past two decades." Wheatley obtained her BFA in 2012 by attending classes at Pace University, where she won numerous writing awards.
