AJA GOES

ACTOR

BIOGRAPHY

Aja Goes is a versatile actor, singer, and dancer with a confident, vivacious stage presence. Hailed by The Chicago Tribute as “glamorous” with a “creamy belt”, Aja is cherished by Chicago theatergoers where her performances in the windy city garner massive acclaim. At Broadway in Chicago, she wowed audiences as Dyanne in Million Dollar Quartet, the elegant, sultry jazz singer who accompanies Elvis Presley to Sun Records’ historic 1956 recording session. Aja cultivated smooth, sophisticated versions of jazz standards such as “Fever.” The production was a hit and is the longest running in Broadway in Chicago’s history. Critics took notice of her knockout performance in the quirky Sondheim revue Putting it Together at Porchlight Music Theater where Chicago Theater Beat hailed “Her pitch and comedic timing are perfect.” The Chicago Tribune raved, labeling her “promising debut” as “top notch.” Recently, she returned to the role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret at Atlanta Opera, to critical acclaim, and appeared in season 3 episode 3 of History Channel’s The Food That Built America as Edna Demery. Upcoming, she will appear in the feature film A Dangerous Match as the withdrawn and judgmental Kayla. [read more...]
