Sarah Stiles is an American singer and actress who has been featured in various Off-Broadway and Broadway musicals. She is best known for her two roles, Lucy the Slut and Kate Monster, in the Off-Broadway production of Avenue Q (2002), which ranks 21st on the list of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows in history. The other Off-Broadway show that Sarah is known for is the musical Vanities (2009), in which she played the character of Joanne. Stiles has had many various roles in different productions and shows. As to performing on stage or acting in films, Sarah has never had a preference.
At the age of twelve, Sarah started getting involved with theater productions in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Her first role was when she played the lead character in Annie at the Seacoast Repertory Theater. As a teenager, Stiles played two other major roles while living in New Hampshire: Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and Cinderella in Cinderella. Stiles loved the performing arts so much that she spent her summers working at the Prescott Park Arts Festival in Portsmouth. Before she got involved with Broadway productions, she trained at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, close to where she now resides, in Harlem. Sarah is most known for her two roles in the Off-Broadway production Avenue-Q, which is the story of a college student who moves to New York City with big dreams but lives on Avenue-Q and has very little money. Stiles plays Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut, who are two puppets that she controls throughout the show. Jason Moore, the director of Avenue-Q, gave her the opportunity to be involved in this production. He first noticed Stiles while she was auditioning for the show, Vanities. After he saw her audition, Moore called her in, to replace the role played by Mary Faber. Stiles ended up taking over Anika Larsen's spot, after she left the production of Avenue-Q.
After Stiles spent much of her time in the production of Avenue-Q, she later was offered the role of Joanne in Vanities, a project that Sarah had been involved with for a period of two years. Vanities was located at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, California, but eventually was moved to Second Stage in New York. This role in Vanities eventually led Sarah to be involved in recording an album for the songs.
