The Los Angeles Civic Light Opera, the Pittsburgh CLO, the St. Louis Muny Opera, Atlanta's Theater Of The Stars, Kansas City Starlight, Dallas Summer Musicals, Utah's Pioneer Theatre Company, The Irish Repertory Theatre in NYC, and others have presented her in virtually every Leading Lady role in musical theater.

I remember watching Ms. Mallory when she appeared in Jim Eiler's Prince Street Players productions of "Aladdin" and "The Emperor's New Clothes," under the name Vicki Morales. With her beauty and angelic singing voice, she simply lit up the screen. Condolences to her family for this tragic loss.
