Career

Having performed in the Toronto production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas, Horak made her Broadway debut as Rita in the 2008 production of the musical directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie.

She has performed in musicals across the United States, some of which include the roles of Gretchen in Boeing-Boeing at Paper Mill Playhouse Sheila in A Chorus Line at Lexington Opera House and Charity in Sweet Charity at the Marriott Theatre where Chicago Tribune reviewed her performance as “beautifully acted—assertive, vulnerable and richly connected—and courageously danced.”

Horak has performed in roles on film, such as Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and in TV series, such as Forever, Submissions Only, Royal Pains, A Gifted Man and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She has also appeared, as herself, in a 2014 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
