She played Mimi in “Rent” last year at the City Stage in Union Station, in Kansas City, Mo. Locally, however, she is a stage veteran, having appeared in numerous shows at the Lincoln Community Playhouse, Pinewood Bowl and her high school, Lincoln North Star. Samantha Ware is a 2009 North Star graduate.
She went to New York to audition for a role in the Broadway production of Lion King. Producers of “The Lion King” called her in December, but, unfortunately, lost out on the role after reaching the final two. But there was a consolation prize — “The Lion King” asked if she would be willing to play Nala in its Las Vegas production at the Mandalay Bay casino. She agreed, and will begin her run June 13.
