Katie Coleman

Welcome!

I’m Katie Coleman, music director and pianist based in New York City. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, where I was a sought out MD/pianist for over ten years before moving to New York to continue pursuing my caree.

I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in several Broadway-level productions including SIX, ALADDIN, HAMILTON, WICKED, and FALSETTOS, as well as many exciting new works and regional productions, including the recent world premiere of Beaches the musical. Check out my full resume here.

I am most passionate about developing new musicals, guiding them from beginning stages to performance. In addition to music directing and playing piano, I also enjoy orchestrating and arranging. Because of my background in instrumental music, I have an in-depth understanding of how to both work with instrumentalists and write parts for them.

I have a bachelor of Music in Music Management from the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music, where I studied piano and trumpet.

When I'm not performing, you can find me outside in the sunshine, swing or salsa dancing, or hosting my podcast, How to Succeed in Theater (by sacrificing everything)!
