Get to know Caleigh!

Born and raised 30 minutes outside Manhattan in Summit, New Jersey, Caleigh always found her home in New York City. Starting at the age of 7, she was always in the studio dancing, singing, and most definitely creating chaos. She took many master classes with Andy Blankendueler and Mia Michaels at NYCDA. Growing up, her summers were spent in Millburn, New Jersey, at the Papermill Playhouse, participating in their summer conservatory from 2008-2013. In high school, she was given the opportunity to perform at 54 Below with her fellow classmates.

Caleigh recently graduated from the Chicago College of Performing Arts with a BFA in Musical Theatre with a Dance Concentration. There, she studied with Jane Lanier, Stephen Schellhardt, Tammy Mader, and many more.

Currently, you can find Caleigh with a venti cafe latte, an extra shot of espresso, two pumps of brown sugar syrup and on the longest hot-girl walk ever. Her favorite non-theatre hobbies include going to dinner, going to lunch, and especially going to brunch. All in all, she loves to go out.
