Popular Broadway Youtube personality, Tyler Mount, recently welcomed DAMES AT SEA and MATILDA's Lesli Margherita for the latest episode of his web series, THE TYLER MOUNT VLOG. Below, catch the Broadway wild-child discussing her most embarrassing moment on stage involving a mouse, her celebrity crushes, and her dream role of playing Miley Cyrus's mother, plus a game of "Marry, Cuddle, Kill"!

An Olivier Award winner for her West End debut as Inez in ZORRO THE MUSICAL, Lesli Margherita made her Broadway debut originating the role of Mrs. Wormwood in MATILDA THE MUSICAL. After 1000 performances, she has bid farewell to the Broadway company of MATILDA and recently was seen as the diva Mona Kent in the Broadway premiere of Randy Skinner's DAMES AT SEA at The Helen Hayes.

Born and raised in California, Lesli trained at UCLA and was soon after chosen to star in MGM's television series FAME LA, directed by Kenny Ortega. She has gone on to star and recur on numerous television shows and pilots including DONNY!, THE GOOD WIFE, MAJOR CRIMES, THE SUITE LIFE ON DECK, CHARMED, NYPD BLUE, and ON THE LOT, produced by Steven Spielberg.

Film credits include the upcoming movie musical OPENING NIGHT, opposite Topher Grace and Taye Diggs, LUCKY STIFF with Jason Alexander, Joel Schumacher's THE NUMBER 23, and the Sam Raimi-produced BOOGEYMAN 2. Lesli's voice can also be heard on several animated films and shows including Disney's CINDERELLA 3 and Nickelodeon's SPONGE BOB SQUAREPANTS.

In June 2015, Lesli published NECK PUNCH AND CARRY ON: ADVICE FROM THE "QUEEN", a series of 'inspirational' messages inspired from her Twitter feed (@QueenLesli). The book, which debuted at #1 on the Humor charts, is available exclusively on iBooks.

Lesli's critically acclaimed nightclub act ALL HAIL THE QUEEN continues to play to crowds in NY & LA and her brand new solo show BROAD just debuted at NYC's historic Birdland in November.
