Ewoldt made her Broadway debut in 2006, playing Cosette in the ‘Les Misérables’ revival. She continued to build her career with significant roles in national and international tours, including starring as Maria in the North American and 50th-anniversary international tours of ‘West Side Story’ from 2009 to 2011.

Her regional theater work includes Luisa in ‘The Fantasticks’ and Maria in ‘West Side Story’ at The Muny.
A significant milestone in Ewoldt’s career occurred on June 13, 2016, when she joined the Broadway company of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ as the first Asian-American actress to star as Christine Daaé, a role she held until 2018.
