Whether on stage, back stage, as part of the creative staff or as an instructor and lecturer, Caitlin Carter is known for her committment to excellence and her dedication to the final product - a memorable performance.

In San Francisco at the age of eight, she began her training in acting, voice and dance. Following her love of ballet, she trained at the San Francisco Ballet, The School of American Ballet and, in her high school years, at the North Carolina School of the Arts. It was at SAB, at the age of fourteen, where Caitlin had a chance meeting with Bob Fosse. When she introduced herself, he replied "Caitlin Carter...that name would look good in lights." The seed had been planted.

After performing with San Antonio Ballet, she moved to Houston, Texas where, while simultaneously acquiring double-major degrees at prestigious Rice University, Caitlin was active in film, print, commercials, television and theatre. These theatrical endeavors allowed her to work with ascending directors, Rob Marshall and Susan Stroman. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Marshall, Caitlin boarded a plane and set off for a Long Beach production of CHICAGO, choreographed by Ann Reinking. Time and again, these, and other, pillars of the industry encouraged Caitlin to bring her talents to New York City.

Once in New York, Caitlin quickly established a career, exceptional for its continuous performing and longevity. Her first of five Broadway shows, Ain't Broadway Grand, came only two months after her move. The following productions - Victor/Victoria, CHICAGO, Swing!, Bells Are Ringing - range almost 10 years. Other endeavors in commercials, television and film occured throughout.

Well-known for her keen intellect and uncompromising work ethic, Caitlin has extended her talents into choreography, directing, stage managing and producing. She is also immensely proud of her voluntary activities which have included being a Career Transition for Dancers board member 2003-2015, and Vice Chair 2013-2015. She currently serves as an advisory board member for The Ann Reinking Scholarship at the non-profit OFF THE LANE, and serves on The Dancers Advisory Committee at THE ACTORS FUND.

In a perfect world every person in A CHORUS LINE would be a 10 in dancing, singing and acting. Caitlin Carter (Cassie, who delivers the defining line, “a dancer dances,” and does the one solo, a flashy dance) scores highest in the acting department.

Alvin Klein
NEW YORK TIMES

I believe Miss Caitlin Carter’s Cassie in the best I’ve ever seen. In the first place , Cassie must always stand out and be striking, even before her true identity is revealed. In the second place, her dancing must astonish. Every moment she is on stage should be memorable. Miss Carter has the looks and the talent to put this over. She has legs that won’t quit. She has a shapely body, and knows how to carry herself. In short, she has class

David Lohrey
CURTAIN UP

Carter, as Cassie, aside from being stunning on stage, is perfect for the role of the stage star who tried to make it in Hollywood and now returns to what she loves, dancing, and is willing to take any dancing role, even on the line. She offers a beautiful rendition of “Music In the Mirror”

Ann Miner
TALKIN BROADWAY

The long stemmed Caitlin Carter, who was a vividly wry presence in the revival of CHICAGO, brings a cool heat to her impersonation of a bass fiddle in “Harlem Nocturne”, and in a steamy duet with the strapping Edgar Godineaux to the great Arlen-Mercer standard “Blues In The Night”

Ben Brantley
NEW YORK TIMES

“But it’s the women who get-and deserve-all the attention. At Wednesday’s performance Caitlin Carter gave a seamless, and polished performance as Roxie Hart, the brash chorus girl”

Alice T. Carter
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE

“Through the years of cast changes at CHICAGO we are always relieved to find the originals. The increasingly stupendous Caitlin Carter, preserving the Fosse-Reinking style”

Linda Winer
NEWSDAY

“Caitlin Carter brings just the right desperation to the role of Hunyak”

Hedy Weiss
