From the closing of HAIR in 1972, Ula subsequently went on to do a few other musicals including Godspell, and originated the role of Ellie Greenwich in the first production of Leader Of The Pack. In between theatre work, she sang back-up vocals in the studio and/or live for many recording artists such as, Carly Simon, Tim Curry, Olivia Newton-John, Robert Plant, Paul Simon, k.d. lang, Bob Geldof, Little Steven, Donald Fagan, Phoebe Snow and Judy Collins. You might catch her on David Letterman reruns singing back-up. She is best known for having performed as one of Bette Midler's "Harlettes" for many
years, and can be seen sharing the stage with her in the 1980
concert film "Divine Madness," as well as the 1976 HBO
special "The Fabulous Bette Midler Show." She still performs with Bette often and can be heard singing on most of her albums.
When her son was born 16 years ago, Ula began writing a children's musical, which finally evolved into, The Looking Glass, which was performed in Chicago a few years ago. Her hopes are to produce the show on the east coast someday, but until then she'll continue to enjoy being "mom" to her best production, her son Casey.
