Biography

Alyssa Joy Fox (born December 19, 1986) is an American actress and singer known for her roles in musical theater. She made her Broadway debut as the Elphaba standby in the musical Wicked in 2016.

Early life

Fox is a Dallas, Texas native. She aspired to be a professional singer as a young child and was introduced to musical storytelling through Disney princesses. Fox developed an admiration for live performance during her youth when she sang in her church's choir and acted in church and school musicals. Her discovery of Wicked through its cast recording in her senior year of high school caused her to focus her future hopes on musical theater. Fox moved to Oklahoma City for college, later dropping out with large amounts of student debt and having to work an hourly job in a mall.

Career

In 2008, Fox auditioned for the role of Elphaba on Broadway in an open cattle call. After many subsequent callback auditions in both San Francisco and New York, she began work as an understudy for Eden Espinosa's Elphaba in San Francisco in 2010. During her year in this role, she went onstage twice.

Fox then moved to New York and again worked an hourly job until 2012, when she joined Wicked's national tour as a standby for Elphaba. In 2014, she assumed the tour's lead role.

Fox worked as the standby for Elphaba on Broadway after the tour concluded. She remained in this role until 2023, with the exception of a two-year period—March 2018 to March 2020—during which she worked as the standby for Elsa in the Broadway production of Frozen.

In March 2023, Fox took over the role of Elphaba on Broadway.
