Michelle's most recent work have been in the forthcoming “Wicked” Feature Film.
Recently filmed the music video “Waterloo Sunset” for The Kinks.
Played the role of The Wardrobe Mistress, covered (and played) Madame Giry in The Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty's Theatre.

Michelle Cornelius, with her compelling, expressive eyes and beautiful singing voice, is stunning as an exceptionally scheming, manipulative Lady Macbeth. ·
