DANIELLE HERBERT BIO

Living legend, Patti Labelle, once said to her, "Baby Girl, do you know what 'IT' is?  Cause you got it, and I expect to see you on the other side." Grammy-winning R&B vocalist, Jill Scott, told her that wherever her career was to lead, "IT's there..." And, the late acclaimed director, Walter Dallas, was once quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer proclaiming, "I think we've made a real find and are introducing a major talent."

 

These are just a few of the accolades that summarize the talent of actor/singer and Philadelphia native, Danielle Herbert. Best known for her portrayal of the crazy inmate, “Babs Babson,” in the hit Netflix TV series, Orange is the New Black, she made her Broadway debut in the Duke Ellington musical revue, After Midnight where she covered a rotating roster of guest-stars, including Fantasia Barrinno, K.D Lang, Toni Braxton, Vanessa Williams, and Patti Labelle. She starred for 1-week, in her own right, and stepped in several times for Broadway veteran, Adriane Lenox, as the comedienne of the show.

 

Most recently, she performed in the 6th Broadway national touring company of BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL, where she was featured as Lucille and the "Shirelle" who sang, "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow?"; and, in the Hoagy Carmichael off-Broadway musical review, STARDUST ROAD, at the York Theater.  

 

Other notable TV appearances include: season 1 of the Netflix thriller, The Sinner, alongside Jessica Biel and Bill Pullman; and the NBC series “Do No Harm,” alongside Steven Pasquale.

​

Danielle has sung back-up vocals and toured nationally with fellow Philly-diva, Jill Scott, along with Queen Latifah and Erykah Badu; she debuted her one-woman show, I'M STILL HERE: A TRIBUTE TO EARTHA KITT! at the renowned Don't Tell Mama cabaret club; and, she has performed in numerous regional productions at the most notable theaters in Philadelphia, California, and Chicago.

​

She holds a Bachelors degree in classical voice from Temple University.
