Though I was a super shy kid, I always felt my biggest and brightest when performing for an audience. (My mom tells me it began as early as the day I was born when I sang gibberish from my car seat during the entire trip home!) By the age of three, I was dancing and singing every second I could (and I've never been able to stop.) When I wasn't in the studio, I spent my time hiking and exploring the glorious landscape of my desert home: St. George, UT.
I had to part with my precious mountains to attend the Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theater at the University of Oklahoma, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had some of the best years of my life training and building a community of friends to lean on. I even met the love of my life!
Upon graduation, my (now) husband and I, moved out to NYC to follow our big theater dreams and we've been performing all over the country ever since! Right now, you'll find me nestled in the stunning red rock canyons of Southern Utah, performing at the picturesque Tuacahn Amphitheatre (in my hometown!) It's always been a dream of mine to work here, as I grew up seeing their annual summer shows with my family. I have also always wanted to play a Disney Princess, so I am absolutely overjoyed to be playing the role of Anna in the regional premiere of Frozen all summer long. Dreams are coming true left and right! I'll also be a swing for Anastasia and in the ensemble of Jersey Boys - come out and see us!
When I'm not performing, you can catch me seeing all the movies, eating all the queso, and walking my sweet Goldendoodle pup, Teddy, in our current home city of Austin, Texas!
A sincere thank you to you for visiting my website - I'm so happy you're here!
Recent News and Reviews
Dames at Sea
I recently had the time of my life performing in Dames at Sea at the Bucks County Playhouse directed and choreographed by Randy Skinner! I got to play Ruby, who steps off a bus from Utah (just like me!) and into her first Broadway show!
"Daisy Wright’s Ruby is spirited and optimistic, loving and uncertain, and, in her big second-act number “Raining in My Heart,” reveals a depth of emotion unexpected in what can so easily be dismissed as just another ingenue role."
- Allen Neuner, Out in Jersey
"Wright provides pathos and quiet while demonstrating without question that Ruby has the stuff to carry a show... Wright exudes naive innocence and easily bruised sensitivity with songs like "Raining in My Heart."
- Neal Zoran - US1
