Google is your friend but here is some low hanging fruit:

Check out her website. There a resume and plenty of info there.

The Broadway HD version started streaming today, and does feature a different edit in the rain scene. The shot in the PBS version where the camera started to pan up is gone, and the camera stays midrange on Katrina Lenk and Adina Verson, allowing the full sensuality of the scene to play. There's no blurring of the nightgowns. Given that the scene is tastefully staged and performed, with no nudity and you can see vastly more suggestive material on network and cable television, the PBS edit seems even more oddly schoolmarmish in hindsight.
Just gonna leave this here. Elated she is finally getting her due but lord, where has this woman BEEN all our lives prior to last year?

TFMH18, I actually meant to post that earlier today but Ms. Lenk left me in such a stupor that I completely forgot.
She is effing unbelievable. Enchanting, entrancing bona fide talent.

She's absolutely incredible!!! Anyone else see her being probably an iconic fanny brice in Funny Girl?
