Around the Forest: Rose City Riveters Capo Hailey Kilgore up for Tony Award

Rose City Riveters capo and Thorns FC fan Hailey Kilgore nominated for Tony Award | Portland Timbers
Kilgore's path to New York is out of a fairytale. As a teen, she learned to fiercely capo Thorns FC chants at Providence Park. For Once On This Island, a 1990 musical fairy tale set in the French Antilles archipelago, Kilgore was discovered by a YouTube video of her singing that led to her audition in New York. The audition landed her the part of Ti Moune, a young girl who bridges social classes on the island through love.
