Yes, the Cast of "Up Here" Is Really Singing — Check Out Their Musical Backgrounds

Katie Finneran, who plays Lindsay's mother Joan, has been performing on Broadway since the 1990s and has even won two Tony Awards, including Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as Marge MacDougall in the 2010 Broadway revival of "Promises, Promises."

Finneran talked about her experience doing a musical comedy series in a March 21 interview with Movie Web. "What I love about our show is the musical moments are just sort of an extension of the acting, but with bigger feelings," she said. "And so many of us come from a Broadway background, that we just feel very at home in that world. And it's going to be really exciting to bring it to a whole new audience on the small screen."
