Christiane Noll

Christiane Noll

A new york native, Christiane Noll packed up her bags last year and left the big apple for a thrilling journey of a lifetime: playing ‘Cynthia Murphy’ in the First National tour of mega-hit and Tony Award winner Dear Evan Hansen. With beloved Broadway shows on her resume including Ragtime and Jekyll & Hyde, Noll felt the Great White Way calling her back, as she reprises her role as the matriarch of the Murphy family on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre. We are thrilled to have Christiane “On The Couch” with us this week!
