Danielle Mullenix
In addition to stage performances in regional theatres, Danielle conducts masterclasses on personal branding for aspiring musical theatre actors. She is writing a book titled “Surviving & Thriving Your BFA,” offering insights for future performing arts students from her experiences at the University of Alabama. She was featured in ACCESS magazine in March 2019 in an article titled "GIRLS WHO WILL CHANGE THE WORLD," recognizing her as an upcoming performer. Critics have praised her performances as “warm, lovely, emotional, silky,” noting how her “beautiful voice transports audiences to another time,” deeply touching them.
In January of 2025, Danielle debuted at Lincoln Center with The American Pops Orchestra as a national finalist in the 8th Annual NextGen Vocal Competition. She has received numerous awards and nominations for her stage performances. Outside of performing, Danielle is an avid bookworm, gym-goer, and cinema junkie. She believes that spontaneity and travel are beneficial for the soul and tries to seize as many opportunities as possible to explore the world and experience different cultures. A recent travel highlight includes the summer of 2023 where she lived and studied theatre in the Northern Italian villages of Trento. This summer, she returns to The Playmill Theatre, a regional theatre located outside of the Yellowstone National Park, and will perform for over 40,000 patrons. As a caffeine connoisseur, you're more than likely to find her exploring nearby coffee shops wherever she is located. Danielle loves to be outside and near any body of water (she likes to believe she's part mermaid, having grown up by the Gulf of Mexico).
American soprano Danielle Mullenix showcases her versatility across musical theatre, film, television, and the music recording industry. She began her career at seventeen at Everblue Arts. Danielle is a recent graduate from The University of Alabama, receiving a BFA in musical theatre, minor in News Media, and magna cum laude and honors distinction. She believes her purpose is to be a storyteller and loves to explore this passion in as many forms of media as possible.
Danielle integrates her theatre studies with news media training to narrate and share fine arts stories in her community. Her contributions to the UA arts community earned her the Sophomore of the Year Award from the College of Arts and Sciences in 2023, along with other honors. Outside her theatrical pursuits, Danielle participates in community service and regularly takes freelance projects as a content creation and news media specialist.
Her love for vocal performance and acting stems from a strong music background in Musical Theatre, Classical Theatre Techniques, and Jazz Performance. She has studied under esteemed educators Celeste Simone, Dorothy Savage, and Dr. Luvada Harrison, and continues training. Danielle has performed internationally, including a 2016 European tour as a cellist with the St. Paul’s Chamber Orchestra and as an actor and vocalist in the 2023 Trentino Music Festival in Mezzano, Italy. She has engaged in developmental readings and crossover projects in film and theatre. She aims to challenge conventional character analysis by grounding her artistry in the principles of Meisner, Stanislavski, Chekhov, and the Alexander Technique. Recently, she received national recognition for her arrangements of Great American Songbook classics at Lincoln Center with the American Pops Orchestra. She also produced and created her first cabaret show, “Rhythm & Blooms: A Theatrical Jazz Cabaret,” in the spring of 2025 at the University of Alabama.
