Judy Kuhn (born May 20, 1958) is an American actress and singer.Kuhn was born in New York City. Her training as a classical soprano was at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, from which she graduated in 1981.

Her Broadway on-stage debut was in The Mystery of Edwin Drood , a Rupert Holmes musical based on the unfinished Charles Dickens novel, in 1985. Her next appearance was in the ill-fated Rags, which closed two days after opening night, but she hit paydirt with her next role, the New York premiere of Les Misérables (1987), in which she portrayed Cosette, and for which she received her first Tony Award nomination, as Best Featured Actress in a Musical.The following year, Kuhn took on another transfer from London's West End, Florence in the Trevor Nunn-directed Chess, with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulva
