Judy Kuhn

Judy Kuhn is, to me, a stage artist of genuine spine. Four Tony nominations speak to the respect of her peers, but it is her voice as Pocahontas, soaring through Colors of the Wind, that quietly underpins an Oscar-winning song most people never credit to her. An Oberlin graduate and activist, she carries more than a beautiful instrument; she has conviction. I admire performers who keep returning to live theatre, where the lungs and the nerve are tested nightly with no second take. Kuhn embodies that endurance, and I think she deserves far wider recognition than she gets.
