Bev
must have been born singing. When she was a kid her family had to institute
a "no singing at the dining table rule" in order to stop her for a few
minutes every day. She fell in love with musicals while studying at San
Diego’s Junior Theatre. By the time she was eighteen she was touring
with Annie Miller and Mickey Rooney in Sugar Babies and hasn’t stopped
working since. One reviewer said of her singing “She has a set of pipes
an organ would envy”. Much of her professional career has been spent
(happily) playing opposite her husband, actor/director/writer Kirby Ward.
Together they’ve toured the world and have been fortunate enough to perform
for royalty and heads of state as a team. At the Hollywood Bowl (in front
of 18,000 people) their rendition of “I’ve Got A Crush On You” stopped
the show cold. Broadway audiences saw Bev in EPIC PROPORTIONS and her
National tour credits include playing the wisecracking Ellie May Chipley
in Hal Prince’s SHOWBOAT and the tough as nails Polly Baker in CRAZY
FOR YOU (a portrayal that netted her a Helen Hayes nomination for best
actress in a musical while at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC). Regional
audiences nationwide have seen her perform countless roles. * Download Headshot
