Silvie Paladino (born 18 August 1971) is an Australian singer. She began singing at the age of nine, learning at an inner-Melbourne music school. From an early age won several major singing competitions, including the Italian Song Festival and the grand final of Channel Ten's Young Talent Time.
During 1989, Paladino was offered the role of Eponine in Les Misérables as an eighteen-year-old. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 1991 Melbourne Green Room Award for her performance. Paladino continued performing the role for a further twelve months touring Australia and New Zealand to critical acclaim. She received the same recognition in 1992 when she accepted an invitation to perform the role of Eponine on the West End in the London production of Les Misérables. In 1997, Paladino was invited to return to London where she performed the role of Fantine in Les Misérables for two years.
Paladino's other Australasian credits include the role of Jeannie in the Australian tour of Hair, the role of Grizabella in the Australian and Asian tour of Cats and since then has recreated the role in both Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. In 1995 Silvie appeared as Ellen in Cameron Mackintosh's Australian premiere of Miss Saigon at Sydney's Capitol Theatre. For this role she received a nomination for Best Supporting Artist in the Mo Awards.
In 2001, Paladino toured with her one-woman show Silvie Paladino Sings Streisand, and was nominated for a Green Room Award. She released a live CD of this performance.
