About

Originally from Massachusetts, Ali got an early start in the world of musical theatre at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts. As a child, she performed in the national tours of Evita (directed by Hal Prince) and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In her teen years, she toured internationally with Electric Youth and the Boston Show Band, singing and dancing her way across the U.K., France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas. 

Ali now works as an actor and director, performing regionally in shows like Bright Star, Young Frankenstein, Legally Blonde, Something Rotten!, and more. Her directing work includes The Wolves, James Rose's Men I've Had at 54 Below, and a reimagined, immersive production of Tarzan starring Broadway's original Tarzan Josh Strickland.

A lover of all things comedy, Ali enjoys blending musical theatre with improv and stand up in her solo cabaret show "I Only Wanna Laugh."

Ali has a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre from Oklahoma City University and lives in New York City.
