about
A native New Yorker and first generation American, Luba spent her early youth devoted to training in classical voice, piano and dance. The training paid off with her early acceptance to Circle in the Square Theatre School and New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, straight out of school, Luba was plucked by Tommy Tune to sing and dance on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning, “THE WILL ROGER’S FOLLIES.” She went on to impress director Trevor Nunn, who cast her in the American premiere of “SUNSET BLVD,” but it was director/impresario Des McAnuff who placed Luba front and center as sex bomb Hedy LaRue next to Matthew Broderick’s J. Pierpont Finch in the celebrated Broadway revival of “HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS…” A featured role in Paul Simon’s “THE CAPEMAN” preceded Luba’s return to center stage as she starred in the Broadway production of “JEKYLL & HYDE” and then, as Velma Kelly opposite Brooke Shields’ Roxy Hart in the smash musical, “CHICAGO”. Tapped by Ruben Blades (her cast mate in “THE CAPEMAN”) as a guest vocalist for his 2003 Grammy Award-winning CD MUNDO, Luba’s seamless segue from the New York stage to the Hollywood scene gave her the chance to tackle dramatic roles in guest-starring parts on LAW & ORDER, NYPD BLUE, and NEW YORK UNDERCOVER, and most recently opposite Jeff Goldblum in the psychic detective series, RAINES. No stranger to the nightclub circuit, Luba has performed sold-out shows at LA’s famed CATALINA BAR & GRILL, VIBRATO and the CINEGRILL. B
