I've been so fortunate to be able to dance in so many different shows I've been in over the years! Here's a couple highlights of my favorites (that I have footage of, anyway). Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite performances and benefits I've ever been part of; forgive the funky audio and the little jump cut edit I had to do around the mic blowing out the soundboard's audio in the bridge section, but this number was too much fun not to even post most of! 2023.

Leg Up on Life, the organization founded by my dear friend Dan Gold (@djpgold), held its annual NIGHT OF LIFE benefit concert at Sony Hall this August, raising over $16,500 for The Trevor Project! I had the honor of singing the Ariana Grande part in "Bang Bang" for their first ever live vocals finale. It was one of the greatest and coolest stages I've ever played, and SUCH an honor! https://www.leguponlife.org/. 2023.

Crafted together for the end of summer Live E! Cabaret at Cedar Point--and genuinely my most personally powerful moment on a stage, received + enveloped in love by artists I respect, adore, and admire profusely. This was truly the closest thing I’ve ever touched to magic! 2022.

2022 started out with me being cast in two brand new musical show experiences for the RWS Entertainment & Iberostar Hotels (Mexico) inaugural contract: "Iluzio" and "Dolce"!

"Iluzio" follows the story of Isabella, a young magic apprentice who just started working at a mysterious 1920's lounge and is nervous to impress the head magic maker, Alejandro. Through some absolute Top 40s bops, Isabella gradually finds her magic growing stronger until she flips the script on Alejandro (and everyone else)!

"Dolce" is an interactive musical audience experience where, through sensual dessert tastings and serenades, we take audiences around the world with their partners and closer than ever before.

Director/Chor.: Daniel Gold (asst. Tripp Fountain)

In what would turn out to be a wonderful little blessing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was fortunate to be added to the vocal ensemble for Timothy Huang's new musical, "American Morning"!

Keep an ear out for my voice on those leading alto harmonies and various solo lines. Check out the rest of the awesome cast album too! 2020.

Orchestrations: Alex Sage Oyen

Performed in reverence and tribute to Christopher Plummer on the night of his passing for some Facebook viewers; a song that I've held near and dear to my heart since I was little. 2021.

Hildy was by far one of the most rewarding characters I've ever had the privilege to play! From her boldness to her brass, I loved every inch of this lady's sass. While I'm sorry the recording is so whitewashed, I'm still so grateful to have this moment on tape to share with you! 2018.

Opening number from one of my devised college performance projects. The central theme was about a prom night gone wrong and everyone's individual experiences being expressed within the chaos by using non-musical theatre songs. 2018.

Original Song: "Some Nights: Intro" by Fun.
