“Marisha Wallace, was a marvel. Her powerful “And I Am Telling You” led to buckets of tears and even a mid-show standing ovation. And Londoners absolutely loathe standing ovations.”

”Miss Marisha Wallace will not leave you wanting. She is incandescent throughout this production. ”

Happy Mother’s Day to the beautiful woman who sacrificed everything for me to be successful. She had her first baby at 15 and became a wife and a mother simultaneously. At a young age she had to learn what it was to raise a child. She cooked for us, cleaned and worked grueling hours at a factory job. My dad wouldn’t buy us Christmas presents so she would buy them and hide them in a big trash bag. She would take her own money to get presents for all of us. She was firm. She wanted to be sure I turned out better and have a better life than she did. She was so strict on me and I hated it at the time but now I thank her. She taught me to be grateful for every blessing and to never take anything for granted. I am who I am because how she raised me. She will be ending the factory job she worked for 35 years at the end of this month. If you wanna know what hard-work and love is look at my Mom. Thank you for being my Mom. I love you Rowshell Wallace! #happymothersday #strongblackmother

When I was a kid my parents couldn’t afford cable tv so all we had to watch was Disney movies on VHS 📼. I would come home from school and watch Aladdin everyday. Even Return of Jafar. Cut to 2014 I got to be apart of the original Broadway cast of Aladdin. I got to play the original Fortune Teller in Aladdin Broadway. And sing the iconic line “Still I Think He’s Rather Tasty!” Now cut to 2019 I am singing “Rather Tasty!” In the new @aladdin LIVE ACTION MOVIE with WILL SMITH! @willsmith I can’t believe I am an actual Disney character. And got a chance to represent the OG Broadway Aladdin Cast. Special Thanks to @matt_musical and @_jtaylormusic ..I missed the premiere last night because I was @waitresslondon 🔮So go check it out in theaters May 24th!

The #KATchelorette was LIT! 🔥 @katharinemcphee

Some stars are made...some are born.

Marisha Wallace was born and raised in a small town in North Carolina. But the small town never held down her big city dreams. At the age of five she took the stage performing her first solo at an Easter service where she forgot the words. Despite her mishap, she knew she had to perform for the rest of her life. Marisha went on to obtain a BFA Musical Theatre and Theatre Education at East Carolina University. It was there that she found a love for acting and dancing. From there she went on to perform in shows around the country and the world.

She got her big break starring in the break out role of Ado Annie in Oklahoma, where she recieved a Drammy Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She then went on to be cast in the First National Tour of the Tony Award Winning Musical The Book of Mormon. After a year on the road, she left the tour with a new opportunity in hand. She went back to NYC to fulfill her dream of being on Broadway. She left Mormon and was cast in the original broadway company of the five-time Tony nominated musical Disney's Aladdin where she originated the role of the Fortune Teller. After Aladdin she went on to work on the very new musical "Something Rotten" that went on to be nominated for 10 Tony Awards. She originated the role of "Eggie White" singing the iconinc line "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going to be an Omlette." She also can be heard on the short film Disney's Frozen Fever and recently has taken on the lead role of Effie White in Dreamgirls at Dallas Theater Center.
