Sydney W. Peterson
"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 (May 2025), she's itching 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 past summer, she was excited to make her debut at Cape Cod Theater Company performing the role of Janet Van De Graaff in their production of The Drowsy Chaperone. This spring, Sydney is having a scary good time as part of the ensemble in Carrie, the Musical. Last fall, she 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!

"Peterson wowed the audience on “Show Off,”... it’s nonstop fun action and hilarity, along with outstanding singing and dancing. There’s a tap dance routine, acrobatics and even roller skating. Don’t miss this show."
Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll,
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."
