Stage actress Taylor Louderman

Actress Taylor Louderman is not associated with the movies.  But she's appeared in Broadway musicals based on movies. 


She originated the role of Regina George in the Broadway musical Mean Girls, based on the movie of the same name exploring the adverse effects of cliques on high school girls, and she played Campbell in the musical Bring It On, based on the movie of the same name by about the competitive world of cheerleading.

The former role led to a Best Actress in a Musical Tony nomination in 2018.

Ms. Louderman also starred in Kinky Boots, a musical based on a more obscure movie made in Britain (and also sharing the same name) about a boot factory struggling to stay in business.  And if you saw the 204 NBC live production of Peter Pan, you may remember her in that.  Wendy Darling? That was her.

Not yet thirty as of this writing, Ms. Louderman, it's safe to say, has a brilliant stage career ahead of her.  Maybe she'll even star in a musical that's not based on a movie. ;-)
