Kathy-Jo Kelly

Kathy-Jo Kelly (Annie) Kathy-Jo was plucked from the Annie orphan chorus on Broadway where she appeared for six months in the role of July, to headline the title role of the national tour. Beginning her professional career three years ago as a model, she soon broke into TV via commercials and landed a role opposite Barbara Feldon in the pilot, The Four of Us. Featured in the St. Barts Players production of The Sound of Music, she was in rehearsal for a role in Finian’s Rainbow at Jones Beach when she was cast as a replacement in Annie. Kathy-Jo lives with her actress-singer mother, Penny Carroll, who, rather than sit on the sidelines, accepted a role in the Annie chorus. When at home in New York, where her father, Michael and sister Nancy remain, she enjoys a variety of sports.
