## Biografia

Natural de Lakewood, Ohio, Hoty va créixer a Cleveland, on va estar activa al seu cor de l'església. Durant l'escola secundària a Lakewood, va descobrir el teatre musical i en va fer a la universitat al Otterbein College.
Hoty es va traslladar a Nova York el juny de 1977 i va començar a desenvolupar una carrera d'actriu professional. (el seu germà, el difunt Tony Hoty, actuava a Godspell per aquella època.) Les seves aparicions a Broadway inclouen Shakespeare's Cabaret, The Five O'Clock Girl (Cora Wainwright), Me and My Girl (Jaqueline Carstone), City of Angels (Carla Haywood/Alaura Kingsley), The Will Rogers Follies (Betty Blake), The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public (Mona Stangley), Footloose (Vi), i Mamma Mia! (Donna).
D'aquestes aparicions, va rebre nominacions al premi Tony per Footloose!, The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public i The Will Rogers Follies com a millor actriu en un musical.
Va rebre elogis per la producció de la Paper Mill Playhouse (Milburn, Nova Jersey) del 1998 de Follies, de Stephen Sondheim, interpretant el paper de Phyllis Rogers Stone i enregistrant un àlbum de repartiment ben rebut. La revisora Variety va escriure: "Analitzant les seves opcions a 'Could I Leave You?,', Hoty converteix la cançó en un triomf matrimonial. També és divinament picant en un sofisticat striptease:, 'Ah, But Underneath.' " Va interpretar a" Mrs. MacAfee "en el revival de Bye Bye Birdie de la Roundabout Theatre del 2009, la tieta Alicia en el revival de Gigi, a Broadway el 2015, i Mama Murphy a l'estrena de Broadway del musical Bright Star de Steve Martin i Edie Brickell.
