Melissa Burke-Manwaring

Melissa Burke-Manwaring is originally from Bellingham, Washington, where she performed in more than 25 regional musicals and plays. She is in the last few weeks of her senior year at CU Boulder and will be graduating this May with a Bachelors of Music in Musical Theater and a Minor in Business. Her latest principal roles were as Hope Cladwell in the BM/MT’s production of Urinetown, and as Rona Lisa Peretti in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Melissa is very excited to end her time here at CU with a bang, in her final role as the iconic, Velma Kelly! She is extremely honored to be a member of the first ever BM/MT cohort at CU Boulder, and can’t wait to translate everything she has learned here out into the professional world!
