Artist Profile
Jillian is beyond excited and grateful to be rejoining the cast of Fancy Nancy for the 8th time! She’s been performing since she was 8 years old and recently graduated from USC’s Thornton School of Music as a Popular Music vocalist. While there, she performed with her band, wrote her own music, and learned the ins and outs of the entertainment industry. You can hear her voice in the Mattel TV movie Monster High: Electrified, and some favorite on-stage credits include The Music Man (Amaryllis), Spring Awakening (Ensemble), The Secret Garden (Mary Lennox), among others. Jillian has also had the privilege of performing in sold-out shows at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts alongside Broadway stars like Tony Award-winner Kelli O’Hara, Academy Award-winner Shirley Jones, and Phantom of the Opera‘s Hugh Panaro. You might also recognize her from the REACT channel on YouTube. She appreciates the Chance Theater team for bringing her back and thanks her supportive family for enduring hours of traffic to get her to every audition and rehearsal.
