"Sitting there in the dark, you knew that when the show began you would be taken to another world, a world full of color and music and glamor. And you think to yourself, 'My God, When are they going to bring up the lights?' "
~ 'Man in the Chair', The Drowsy Chaperone
She's all about the magic of musical theater and has been living and breathing it for as long as she can remember. With a strong dance background and her BFA in Musical Theater, she's ready to dive headfirst into the professional world.
When she's not belting out show tunes or perfecting her soft-boiled egg hands, you can find her on the yoga mat finding her Zen or playing with her four-legged baby, Piper.
This summer, she made her debut at The Company Theatre in the ensemble of their acclaimed production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Past performances include the well reviewed production of The Drowsy Chaperone at Cape Cod Theater Company in which she performed the role of Janet Van De Graaff. Last spring, Sydney had a scary good time as part of the ensemble in Carrie, the Musical. She also took on the challenge of being the Swing in the independently produced, Anyone Can Whistle staged at the Theo Cabaret Theatre in Chicago. Last May, Sydney was thrilled to originate the role of Dreamster in a CCPA original musical of the same name written and directed by Tammy Mader, and composed by Ian C. Weber. Cast album will be available on Spotify later this year - stay tuned!

Kapiolani Kassal,
Booked and Scene
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame at The Company Theater in Norwell, MA...The female ensemble deserves special recognition. Acting as narrators and weaving in and out of the story, they elevated each scene they touched. Their precision and presence helped create the rich atmosphere of 15th-century Paris and gave the show a sense of cohesion and life."

Cape Cod Times
"Cape Cod Theatre Company offers a buoyant, terrifically performed and produced version of this award-winning confection...Sydney Peterson, convincingly dazzling as a lovelorn stage star determined to leave her career for romance."
