Jennifer Swiderski* (Rosemary Clooney) is a Broadway actress with over 30 years of professional experience performing on stages all over the world. Most recently she appeared on Broadway in the global smash hit musical MAMMA MIA! National/ international tours: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, SMOKEY JOE’S CAFÉ, and NEWSICAL. Original casts: Kander & Ebb’s OVER AND OVER and THE RHYTHM CLUB. Jennifer received a Carbonell Best Actress nomination for her portrayal of Patty Andrews in SISTERS OF SWING at Florida Stage. Other favorite roles include Drood in THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, Rona Lisa Peretti in THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, and Vicki in THE FULL MONTY here at Merry-Go-Round Playhouse.  Jen would like to extend big love and gratitude to family, especially her new husband Eric and Betty White the Wonder Dog for supporting her skipping town a few days after their wedding to the beautiful Finger Lakes to portray the iconic Rosemary Clooney.  Twitter: @swidersays | Instagram: @swideroo | www.jenniferswiderski.com
Scott Guthrie* (The Doctor) is so excited to be back at Merry-Go-Round! You may remember him from four years ago as the very special Leaf Coneybear in THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. Thanks to Doug and Brett for letting him come back and play an adult (or 12 in this case!). Some of Scott’s favorite show experiences have been CAROUSEL (Billy Bigelow), THE FULL MONTY (Jerry Lukowski), CARNIVAL (Paul Berthalet), THE LAST FIVE YEARS (Jamie Wellerstein), and a slew of performances of FOREVER PLAID: PLAID TIDINGS (Sparky/Smudge)! Knowing that it takes a village to put a show on stage, Scott thanks his own village for keeping him going all these years. Special thanks to Craig, Bernadette, Meghan and the team at Avalon Artists, family and friends for helping through tough times, teachers and coaches for the constant wisdom and guidance, and Lindsie and Mavis for their love.
Abigail Getty (u/s Rosemary Clooney) As a lifelong fan, Abbie is thrilled to be a part of telling Rosemary’s story at the Merry-Go-Round. Regionally, she has worked in and around Philadelphia, and spent many summers with the Peterborough Players in New Hampshire. She has a Master’s in Classical Acting from the Birmingham School of Acting (UK) and is currently based in New York City, where she plays fierce and witty women as often as possible. Favorite credits: INTO THE WOODS (Baker’s Wife), ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (Annie Oakley), ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD (Leading Player), THE PROVOKED WIFE (Lady Fanciful), TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA (Silvia). Find her online at www.abigailgetty.com and on Twitter: @TheGettyGirl. Deepest thanks to Doug, for being a light, and to Janet and Mark for this gem. For Rosie.
