Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Taylor Quick has always been surrounded by a love for the arts. Growing up in Chenal Downs, she fondly remembers seeing deer roam through the neighborhood, a peaceful contrast to the bustling energy of the performing arts world she would later embrace. Today, Taylor is living her dream as a professional actress, dancer, and singer, captivating audiences across the country. 

Taylor’s love for performing began at the young age of two when she took her first dance class. She trained in ballet, tap, and jazz at Arkansas Festival Ballet and Ms. Karen’s Dance Studio, later expanding her skills in voice and piano. During summers in middle school, she attended ballet intensives at prestigious institutions such as American Ballet Theatre and Joffrey Ballet in New York City.

In high school, Taylor continued her dance training at Shuffles under Allison Stodola Wilson and Arleen Sugano. But it was through the Arkansas Repertory Theatre’s Young Artist Summer Intensive that she discovered her love for musical theatre where she could combine all three of her passions: dancing, singing, and acting. 

Taylor pursued her dreams by earning a BFA in Musical Theatre from Texas Christian University (TCU). Soon after graduating, she moved to New York City, where her talent quickly landed her the role of Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie at Goodspeed Opera House. 

Her career took off from there, as she was cast in the Broadway National Tour of Anastasia, playing Young Anastasia and understudying Anya. She has since performed lead roles in regional theaters across the U.S., most recently portraying Anna in Frozen at The Fulton Theatre in Lancaster, PA. Currently, Taylor is in rehearsals in Los Angeles, preparing to join the Wicked Broadway Tour as Glinda’s understudy while performing in the ensemble.

Taylor knows that success in musical theatre requires dedication and hard work. She has spent years perfecting her craft, continuously training her voice, dance, and acting skills. While she initially saw herself as more of a dancer, her time at TCU helped her refine her singing and acting, allowing her to step into starring roles. 

For Taylor, performing is not just about personal achievement, it’s about bringing joy to others. “For someone in the audience, it may be their first time ever seeing a show,” she shares. “It’s wonderful to know that for two and a half hours, you can help someone forget about the bad day they might be having. We get to transport the audience, which is pretty magical.” 

Taylor’s passion for the stage runs in the family. Her aunt performed on Broadway, her mother was a ballet dancer, and her sisters also danced growing up. Even her father shares a deep appreciation for the arts. 

With a bright future ahead, Taylor hopes to inspire young performers to pursue their dreams, just as she once did. From her early days in Arkansas dance studios to the grand stages of Broadway tours, her journey is proof that with hard work, passion, and perseverance, anything is possible.
