About…

Born and raised in NYC, and the daughter of a Broadway dancer, theater was all around Alyssa as she was growing up.

At age five, she joined the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus, where she performed for seven years. When she grew too tall for the MET, Alyssa turned her focus to (and fell in love with) dance, training at the School At Steps On Broadway. She studied ballet, jazz, theater, modern, tap and hip hop and took as many classes as she could.

Alyssa attended Northwestern University, where she double majored in Theater and Economics, and received a Certificate in Musical Theater. In her junior year, she was cast in Rob Ashford’s Carousel at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, which she performed in while still a full time student. The following year, she was cast in Susan Stroman’s The Merry Widow at the Lyric as the understudy for the six principal dancers.

Since graduating, Alyssa has spent her time performing on stages across the country and working as an associate/assistant choreographer. Alyssa assisted Christopher d’Amboise at the Kennedy Center for an original production and subsequent tour of Me… Jane: The Dreams and Adventures of Young Jane Goodall. She also assisted Charlotte d’Amboise (dir/chor) on a production of Chicago at the Show Palace theater in Florida and Shea Sullivan on Neurosis: A Musical that Gets in Your Head (Off-Broadway).

She has performed in numerous regional houses in shows like West Side Story, Freaky Friday and Newsies and has been seen performing in NYC, dedicating her talents to benefits for BCEFA and AMAS Musical Theater, etc.

Alyssa is a certified 200 Hour RYT yoga instructor and very passionate about physical fitness.
