ABOUT ME / Currently

composer, music director & arranger for musical theatre, from melbourne, australia

G’day! I’m Lucy, & I work in musical theatre. At the moment, I’m writing a new piece about the Chelsea Hotel in NYC, I’m working as a dep music director for SIX Australia, teaching voice & playing piano bar around Melbourne.

Recently I was part of the first APRA SongHub for musical theatre, curated by Yve Blake, Sonya Suares and Eddie Perfect.

This year, I made my Off-Broadway debut as an arranger on new work Skin (Andrew Strano & Yuri Shibata. I’ve worked on The Deb (ATYP), a workshop of Spitfire GIrls (Rosie Meader), while teaching for VCASS, Patrick Studios Australia and Stage School Australia. I finished my masters of Graduate Musical Theatre Writing from New York University in 2020, with the assistance of a professional development grant from the Australia Council for the Arts, the American Australian Association, and a scholarship from New York University.
