Paloma Garcia-Lee Equity Actress from Bucks County Pa
Born in Minneapolis and growing up just outside Philadelphia in Bucks County, Paloma says she was born into show business, as her parents, both union performers and owners of Spirit In Motion Ballet Theater & The Pa School of The Performing Arts in Bucks County, home-schooled and trained her. She has at the same time studied with American Ballet Theater, The Princeton Ballet School, Complexions Contemporary Ballet and Spirit in Motion Ballet Theater, and has at various times performed in NYC at Radio City Hall, in Hong Kong, in China, and “just about everywhere in the U.S.”
She graduated in June of 2008 from the North Carolina School of the Arts in both acting and dance. She was only 17 when she was tapped for the ballet chorus of The Phantom of the Opera’s Broadway production that October, making her one of the youngest performers ever hired for the production. She was also an understudy for Meg.
Her big moment (so far, anyway) came in May last year when she joined the third national tour of The Phantom of the Opera to play Meg. This group is one of three national tours that perform the musical in various parts of the country, in addition to the Broadway production, which, now in its 23rd year, has been dubbed the “most successful and longest continuously-running musical in U.S. history,” with no end in sight.
It is this third national tour, known as the Music Box Company, that opens its Los Angeles run Opened Sept. 23 at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood and ends on Halloween Night, Oct. 31. It is the third national tour’s final performance.
“Being part of the tour [and playing Meg] is so much fun,” Paloma says. “You’re learning something everyday. Right now, I’m open to everything, alert to every opportunity. I’m like a sponge, just soaking it all up. I’m just so thankful for it all.”
October 31 is the final performance of the third national tour, Paloma says she has so many new adventures & options to consider as soon as the final curtain falls. Lot’s to do here in LA with pilot season and agents to meet.
“I love working, and I love performing,” she says. “I’ll probably move back to New York to get back to my real home in New York City. I have so many interviews coming up and I also want to see what will fit me best. You never know what will turn up. Of course I’d like to go on to films, or TV. and doing commercials isn’t such a bad idea. Or doing another musical. If Broadway’s Phantom comes calling, I’ll come running.”
