A bit about Jillian...

​

Jillian Michelle Smith is an actor, singer and all-around theatre maker based in NYC. Born and raised on Long Island, Jillian grew up training and performing in the NYC metro area before moving up north in high school to hone her craft at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. She went on to study at Marymount Manhattan College as a merit scholar and presidential scholar, from where she recently graduated with her BFA in Musical Theatre.

​

While still in school, Jillian earned recognition and critical acclaim for her portrayal of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, which received more than a million views on TikTok and inspired the 54 Below concert, The Little Mersisters. Jillian was also featured as a guest performer on the Broadway Princess Party tour alongside Susan Egan, Christy Altomare, Courtney Reed, and Adam J. Levy (md. Benjamin Rauhala).

 

Jillian also loves working behind the table. Under her production company, Jillian Michelle Entertainment LLC (aka JME), Jillian's producing and directing work has been seen across NYC and London (54 Below, The Green Room 42, Crazy Coqs, & more).

 

Jillian is proud to be a Jewish and neurodivergent artist. She also adores working with children, is a dog magnet, and has been a vegetarian since the ripe old age of five :)

 

Jillian is excited to bring creativity, empathy, a collaborative spirit and positive vibes into every room she enters.
