Alexis Gordon
Actor, Artist, and Singer in Stratford, Ontario, Canada
Hi there, I’m Alexis! I’m a Canadian actor & singer living in Toronto and New York City! I am a fan of music, theatre, books, wine and all things floral.
Currently, I’m flying a broomstick as Madam Hooch in the First National Tour of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!! We‘re loving Chicago and we move onto LA in February ‘25!
Before that, I was working in New Zealand where Talk Is Free Theatre brought our production of “Into the Woods” and I had a “moment” in the Woods! Just before that I was back at The Shaw Festival doing a revival of our 2019 production of “Brigadoon” playing Fiona again, grateful for the opportunity to return to that lush, gorgeous score!
Last year, in 2023, the goal was to head to Broadway, covering the great Adrienne Warren as Ma in Emma Donoghue's “ROOM.” I won a Dora Award (the Canadian version of Tony award) for my performance as Ma, at Mirvish's Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto in September 2022. Unfortunately we were not able to see that production come to the stage but hopefully one day it will come back again!
I was able to obtain another visa and headed to beautiful Denver, Colorado in the summer and did a gorgeous production of Sondheim's “A Little Night Music” this time as Countess Charlotte, with the most excellent company and crew of humans, I loved it there.
Some of you may have seen me in "Coriolanus", "Guys & Dolls", "A Little Night Music", "Sound of Music "or "Carousel" at The Stratford Festival, or in “White Christmas”, “The Doctor's Dilemma”, “A Year with Frog and Toad”, “Rope” or "Brigadoon" at The Shaw Festival in the past.
Some other favourites include "Mary Poppins", "Christmas Carol" (Grand Theatre), "Hook Up" (Theatre Passe Muraille/Tapestry Opera), "The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble" (Factory/Obsidian Theatre), "Godspell", "Starbright Christmas", "Canada Sings" (Victoria Petrolia Playhouse).You can watch my videos with a click on the button above.
My first CD "Summertime" was released in 2018 and is available at both Stratford and Shaw Festival gift shops or by request!
