Beyond her well-known television presence, Anneliese has a distinguished theater pedigree, including her Broadway debut as the final Belle in Beauty and the Beast and her award-winning performances in both productions of the musical 'Evita!' and 'Vanities.' Her versatile experience across film, television soundtracks, and professional stage productions makes her a compelling live performer in Los Angeles. Anneliese took TEN QUESTIONS IN TEN MINUTES with BWLA revealing the trajectory of her career from Broadway to Hollywood!
