Hayley Westwood has been a contributing editor at BroadwayWorld in the Salt Lake City region for the last five years. She has an extensive background in both writing and theater. An Oklahoma native, Rodgers and Hammerstein lead her to an early love of musical theater when she learned a medley of songs from Oklahoma! for a kindergarten talent show. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism and Public Relations from Oklahoma State University. She has been writing and singing most of her life and is self-proclaimed theatre buff. From NYC to Brisbane, Australia, she has seen a multitude of casts and shows and is delighted to be sharing reviews of the unbelievably talented performers of Utah with the readers of BroadwayWorld.com.

With over 20 years of dance experience, Sydney is a passionate performing artist and Broadway enthusiast. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, she has performed with RDT, Ballet West, and various local studios and companies. Her motto from years on the stage: the show must go on! When she isn’t dancing, she’s either writing, reading, baking, or booking tickets to musicals, live theatre, and or dance performances across the nation. While she enjoys performing in musicals & singing every part in Les Misérables, her voice is more attuned to the written word where she hopes she can write to help others explore, feel, heal, and create.
