Her Broadway credits include Johanna in the actor-musician revival of Sweeney Todd,.
To describe her as an actress, one reviewer said "She's part Mary Martin, Lucille Ball, Kristen Wiig and [fill in the blank with your favorite opera star because Molina has one of the most powerful and flexible voices in the annals of Broadway]." While performing on the first national tour of Sweeney Todd, she received the Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She won a Helen Hayes award for her portrayal of Cunegunde in Candide (2010-2011), directed by Mary Zimmerman at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC, and received an IRNE nomination for the same role at the Huntington Theatre.
She originated the role of Bella Rose in Desperate Measures (2017-2018) Off-Broadway and received nominations for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical and Outer Critics Circle for Best Supporting Actress.

Stage career
Johanna made her Broadway debut in the 2005 revival of Sweeney Todd, who was described as a "sweet-voiced soprano who...plays the cello admirably" by The New York Times. She was named one of the "30 Under 30" on Broadwayspace.com, and she was named as one of the "30 Under 30" artists.
Hilton Als, who appeared in the "Critic's Notebook" of The New Yorker, claims that "most of the kudos for Stephen Sondheim's 1979 film "Sweeney Todd" have gone to Patti LuPone and Michael Cerveris. Lauren Molina, on the other hand, is deserving of her fair share. Molina, Sweeney's long-lost daughter, portrays in an entertaining way in which veteran pros like LuPone and Cerveris appear to the audience from time to time, making her Broadway debut. Molina is a newbie; she has just graduated from college, but she taps into Johanna with an all-consuming honesty and flexibility. Given her unusually good looks and delicacy of frame, filmmakers in the sixties and seventies such as Lumet, Coppola, and others would have snatched Molina up as quickly as they did, with the late, great Elizabeth Hartman's appearance in "You're a Big Boy Now" and "The Beguiled" — that of a highly intelligent actress in love with someone other than herself.
Regina/Candi played Regina/Candi in the 80's rock musical Rock of Ages off-Broadway at New World Stages in 2008. She appeared on Broadway from April 2009 to August 2010. In a 2010–11 production that was newly adapted and directed by Mary Zimmerman at the Goodman Theatre, Washington, D.C., and The Huntington Theatre in Boston, she received a Helen Hayes Award for the role of Cunegonde in Candide.
She appeared in the Drama League Nominated Two Person Revival of Stephen Sondheim's Marry Me A Little with Jason Tam, off-Broadway at the Clurman Theatre with Keen Company. Ghostlight/Sh-Boom produced the cast album in November 2013.
Lauren performed Bella Rose in the Drama Desk Award-Winning Off-Broadway performance Desperate Measures in 2017. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and Outer Critics Circle. "Lauren Molina, as Bella, gives one of the uproarious performances that used to make people stay home on Saturday nights to see on "The Carol Burnett Show," Broadway says. In "Duck Soup," she mugs unmercifully, belts out a sassy strip number, and [has] a nod to Groucho and Harpo's classic mirror scene.
The performance at the York Theatre began in New York Theatre and then moved to New World Stages. She performed on Sony Masterworks' original cast album.
She is a co-conceiver of the new actor-musician revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," which premiered at the Cincinnati Playhouse in April 2019. "A powerhouse of a performer" she also played Lucy and was referred to by the Cincinnati Enquirer as "a powerhouse of a performer." Critics blasted the playhouse in the Park as "the best we are likely to see" due to the spectacle's ingenuity and the talented cast.
