Ashlee trained in all facets of dance at Patrick School of the Arts before graduating from their full-time musical theatre course. She began her career performing onboard various ships for Norwegian Cruise Line, most notably playing the role of Waitress #1 in Rock of Ages, in which she was also Dance Captain and later Resident Choreographer. Her other credits for NCL include Shout! The Mod Musical and Wine Lovers.

 

Upon returning home, Ashlee performed in the Australian tours of Anything Goes (Opera Australia/XRoads) and We Will Rock You (XRoads). Her other credits include Legally Blonde (James Terry Collective), Legends in Concert (Onstage Enterprises), and the role of Faustina in the off-Broadway production of Columbia: The Life and Death of Rospo D. Oro (Pipe Dream Theatre). Ashlee was also a swing in the South Korean tour of Cats (Really Useful Group/GWB Entertainment), later taking over the role of Demeter for two subsequent tours in Taiwan. Most recently, she appeared in the New Zealand tour of The Wedding Singer (David Venn Enterprises) as Linda and in the Australian tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as Assistant Dance Captain and Swing.

 

Alongside her performing career, Ashlee is an experienced educator, passionate about sharing her knowledge through workshops and teaching programs. However, her most cherished role is being Leo’s mum, a title she considers the most important of all.

 

Ashlee is also thrilled to embrace her new position as Managing Director of Eleonore Entertainment Australia, where she is committed to delivering high-quality productions and nurturing home grown talent as part of the company’s exciting expansion into the Australian entertainment cruise industry.
