On this episode I talked with Allison about growing up in Florida and finding theatre to participate in there, about her decision to go study theatre at The Boston Conservatory, what she learned while in college, her time-gap between graduating from college and getting cast to be on the 2nd National Tour of Wicked, how quick her audition experience for Wicked was, how going to work and being in Wicked even after almost five years on tour is still enjoyable for her, when she found out she was going to be the LEAD Glinda on tour, how she's like Glinda and how she's different from Glinda, her dream roles in theatre, actors and actresses she'd love to work with on stage, and much more!

As a true Southern Belle from Pensacola, Florida, performing has always been a huge part of her life. She tippy-toed into ballet class at age three, and after being cast in her first show at age seven, she hasn't left the stage since.
After high school, she headed north to attend The Boston Conservatory. During that time, she performed at New London Barn Playhouse and workshopped A Proper Place at Goodspeed Opera House.
Once receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, she traded Fenway Park for Central Park and began living her dream in NYC. Throughout the first few months, she worked on two industry readings of the new musical Little Did I Know and auditioned her way through the city. For over three and a half years, she traveled the country as Glinda u/s on the Broadway National Tour of WICKED. During this time, she performed in concerts at 54 Below, including 1776 and Heathers with Ingrid Michaelson. In September 2019, she began leading the North American Tour of Wicked as Glinda until March 2022.
