Chanel Finnie

Chanel was born in Vancouver, WA; to James Finnie and Patricia Walker. Her love for performing began at age 6, when she sang a solo at church. Although she was a flyer in cheerleading, throughout her 4 years in high school, she was too shy to perform in front of people until after college. She went out on a limb and auditioned for the role of Rizzo, in "Grease", in 2009. She was gratefully cast and the rest is history. She has gone on to perform in numerous shows such as CATS (Cassandra), Rocky Horror, Live! (Magenta), Once On This Island (Asaka), etc. In 2023, she was nominated for a "Best Supporting Actress in a Musical" Heilman & Haver Theatre Award.
