Victoria Clark (born October 10, 1959) is an American soprano who won the Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 2005 for her performance in Adam Guettel's The Light in the Piazza. She also won the Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, and the Joseph Jefferson Award for her performances in this role.
Victoria Clark was born on October 10 in Dallas, Texas. She studied music at Yale University and originally intended to be a director, but was encouraged to act by a casting director whom she met while attending graduate school at New York University. She won her first Broadway role as an understudy in Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park With George shortly after she decided to change her career path, and has worked steadily in the theatrical community ever since. She is currently starring in Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas's new musical, "The Light in the Piazza" at Lincoln Center. She won New York theatre's three most prestigious awards (the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle) for her portrayal of fierce Southern matriarch Margaret Johnson. When she is not performing, she plays the roles of teacher, giving lessons in vocal technique to up and coming talent based on her own experience, and proud mother to her ten year old son.
