From the halls of Tyler Legacy High School to the bright lights of Broadway—Lizzy Tucker is living her dream!
A 2020 graduate of Tyler Legacy, Lizzy pursued her passion for musical theater at Texas State University, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in May 2024. Just a few months later, she packed her bags and headed to New York City to pursue her musical theater dream.
After auditioning for several roles, Lizzy got her big break—she has been cast in the original Broadway production of the highly anticipated Boop! The Musical, set to open in April 2025! She will be part of the ensemble and serve as the understudy for both Betty Boop and Trisha.
"I am beyond grateful for this opportunity," Lizzy shared. "I carry with me many wonderful memories and friendships from the Tyler Lee Theatre."
Tyler ISD is proud to celebrate Lizzy's success and can't wait to see her shine on stage.
Her journey began in Tyler ISD, attending Head Start at Birdwell Elementary, kindergarten at Jack Elementary, and later, Rice Elementary. Now, she's stepping onto the biggest stage of all—Broadway!
What is your favorite high school memory? My favorite memory from high school was joining the theatre department. The friends I made in that program have changed my life in so many ways. This department truly taught me that being myself is enough and okay. This program also provided me with many opportunities to do what I love the most, which is sing, act, and dance.
What teacher made the biggest impact on your life and why? Cindi Stokes. This woman really understood who I was and taught me that myself is enough. She taught me how to connect with other humans onstage and offstage. She is the embodiment of joy and authenticity. She inspired, and still inspires, me to always be my most genuine self, and I thank her for that every day. We laughed, cried, and did all the above together, and she never made me feel less than or not enough. She was always my biggest fan on and off the stage. We need more teachers like Cindi Stokes. Amen!
Advice to current Tyler ISD students? Don't let anyone tell you who you are or what you believe. Only you can establish that. Through your words, your actions, and your intentions. Be unapologetically you because you are enough. Stay aware of who is there for you and who isn't (in every aspect). Be kind. Spread motivation and love, always.
