Lynley Tolls, also occasionally known as "Lola", comes from the less
than tropical Cleveland, Ohio. Her performing actually started with
Broadway musicals and numerous stage and dance shows. A fifteen year
resident of the Hampton Roads, Virginia area, Lynley was Dance Captain
aboard the Spirit of Norfolk for five years. During this time she also
performed with Virginia Beach Little Theater and Commonwealth Musical
Stage. She also choreographed a production of "A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to the Forum" for the Hampton Dinner Theater. Lynley studied at Old Dominion University where she recieved her B.A. in Theater Arts/Dance and teaches part time in the Hampton Roads area. We hear that she is as demanding in the dance studio as she is on the stage. Along the way she was hired part-time by a Tidewater, VA based show band. After bothering them for an entire year the leap was made to full-time, and Lynley has made entertaining her living ever since. Travel to exotic places and shopping wherever possible are two more of her claims to fame and two of the many reasons that Lynley is in the entertainment business. In addition to her vocal talents, Lynley plays lead and double second steel pans, congas, bass guitar, and is responsible for a great many of the sequences used over the course of an evening. Lynley may be onstage one minute and in the crowd the next; nothing slows her down. Watch her change from Lynley to Jessica to Sheila and back again all in one night. |
