ABOUT HOPE
Folk-pop singer-songwriter Hope Levy is no stranger to folk music, having sung as a child on children’s records with the legendary Malvina Reynolds (Little Boxes, Magic Penny) and on her own 45-record titled “Hope and Her Friends”(with songs written by Marla Hunt “The Ace of Cups” and folk-celestial singer Laura Allan). Hope has a background in musical theatre, having performed lead roles in Los Angeles productions of “Les Miserables” at the Shubert Theatre, “The Rocky Horror Show” at the Tiffany Theatres, the lead role of “Mary Bland” in “Eating Raoul, The Musical” directed by Scott Wittman at The Odyssey Theatres, Justin Tanner’s “Heartbreak Help” at The Cast Theatre, and “Showboat” & “The Music Man” at The Hollywood Bowl.
Hope is also a working voice-over actress on numerous animated shows; she plays the “Mom” of Boss Baby in “Boss Baby: Back in Business” on Netflix, as well as voicing beloved characters in games, commercials, and live-action. She can be heard singing “Welcome to Duloc” in DreamWorks “Shrek,” and has had the pleasure of singing in the language of Navi’ for James Cameron’s AVATAR ( in the pivotal love scene!), and in many of the Studio Ghibli English voiced animated features as well. Hope lends her voice to the Los Angeles band “Circlons,” and has performed her original folk-pop songs at The Hotel Café, The Federal Bar (in part with Hollowbody LA), The Trip, Redwood Bar, and Cinema Bar. Hope’s original music styles are in the vein of Jill Sobule meets Susan Werner with the vocal chops of Idina Menzel! Her original CDs can be found streaming on Spotify (“Menagerie” and “Far Sawrey”).
Hope is enjoying performing her one-person cabaret show, “The Connie Converse Universe,” and looks forward to bringing this show to a venue near you!
