One-time Rose City Riveters capo and Thorns FC fan Hailey Kilgore continues to make a name for herself on the big stage.
After wowing audiences with her breakout lead performance in the Broadway musical Once On This Island, Kilgore was nominated today for a 2018 Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical.
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.
