about rhiannon
Raised in Las Vegas and Utah, Rhiannon's love of performing started early with dance & country music competitions. After falling in love with Musical Theater in high school, she attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles to pursue her passion formally.
After graduation from AMDA, Rhiannon moved to New York to compete on MTV's Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods. She placed third in the televised race to play Elle in the Broadway production. Subsequently, she won the role of Margot on the Legally Blonde First National Tour, and, as an understudy for the lead, appeared in the title role in over twenty performances across the country, going on to play the role regionally.
After touring, she moved back to New York where some of her favorite credits include: Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray in Concert (ISO/BSO), Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors (Revision Theater) and Patty Simcox in Grease (MUNY).
Recently, she won 50K on FOX’s Don’t Forget the Lyrics! and has also won awards for her pre- and post-natal fitness coaching as well her cookie decorating (recipes upon request). When she’s not acting, Rhiannon runs marathons (for fun) & always has coffee in hand to keep up with her 2 young boys.
