ABOUT LEXIE
Lexie McEntire is a New York actor, singer and dancer. She earned her BFA in Musical Theatre from Belmont University.
Originally from Virginia, she was lucky enough to venture south for an education at Belmont’s School of Music. While living in Nashville, Lexie performed on the main stage at Belmont, as well as with professional theatre companies including Studio Tenn, Nashville Repertory Theatre, Street Theatre Company and Nashville Children's Theatre. In the summers, Lexie traveled around the country performing at theaters such as Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre and Bigfork Summer Playhouse.
After graduating, Lexie performed the lead role of Hershey Park’s Music Box Show, Big Top Dreams, produced by RWS Entertainment Group and directed by Broadway’s Jesse Robb. Shortly after moving to New York, Lexie was lucky enough to land a job as a production principal on a Norwegian Cruise. After her first contract was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she went on to complete two more contracts on the Norwegian Bliss. First in Prohibition the musical with Kaleidoscope Entertainment, and more recently as the female principal swing for Jersey Boys produced by Dodgers.
Lexie is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and one of her career goals is to get the opportunity to portray more queer women onstage.
When Lexie is not onstage or taking a lesson, she enjoys traveling and the great outdoors, having been to 28 countries. She is also a published author and poet. Her debut solo poetry book, “Gay Enough,” will be available in stores in 2023.
REVIEWS
“Sarah Bailey, Lexie McEntire, Meggan Utech, and Darci Wantiez are wonderfully arch as Ariel’s quartet of mersisters, morphing assuredly and with style into any number of other characters.... “She’s in Love” is performed with 1960s girl group precision and skill, and is one of the show’s musical highlights.””
“The beautiful Lexie McEntire shows off her own showbiz-y attributes as Diana Dream/Dolores Dolores.”
“Transcendent soprano Lexie McEntire is stunning as she portrays the innocent and naïve Maria who feels she must follow her heart, no matter what the consequences might be. McEntire soars as she sings the incandescent “I Have a Love,” and demonstrates a lighter side with the humorous “I Feel Pretty.””
“The diverse ensemble cast is quite talented and do the material justice. The key, however, is the chemistry between Tony and Maria and the two young performers, Ben Peter and Lexie McEntire, make a convincing argument for their young love.”
“It is… so compelling to watch Lexie McEntire as Ilse, a young bohemian… Her rendition of “Blue Wind” is vocally strong and emotionally arresting.”
“Having just recently performed as part of the dance ensemble of the critically acclaimed and audience-lauded Studio Tenn/Tennessee Performing Arts Center co-production of Evita, starring Eden Espinosa, Anthony Crivello and Ben Crawford (which is but one listing on her burgeoning resume), earlier this year she played Maria in West Side Story for the Little Theatre of Alexandria (Virginia) and was dance captain in the Street Theatre Company production of In The Heights.
