After graduating from WR High School in 2000, Jeff Kready earned his Bachelor of Music in Vocal Music Education and Voice Performance in 2004 from Washburn University. Jeff's abilities and training in dance and voice have led him to a successful career in New York on Broadway. When he was 24 years old, Jeff had the distinction of being the youngest performer to play a role (Babet) in the 2006 revival of Les Miserable. In 2008, he was cast in Sunday In the Park with George. Later, the same year, he was cast in Elton John's Billy Elliot the Musical. Off Broadway, he was seen in Tokio Confidential. Regional credits include Thoroughly Modern Millie and Carousel.
