About[]
Lily Mae comes from a very musical family. She has been singing all her life and involved with musical theatre for the past six years. Despite her lack of class attendance, Lily Mae was highly involved in extracurricular activities in high school. She is currently enrolled as a student at Westminster Choir College. Even though she has performed for over 2,500 people at Symphony Hall in Boston, Lily Mae still finds it challenging to convince people that as a full-figured woman, she can be any show's leading lady. Lily Mae originally auditioned for The Glee Project online and at the New York City open casting call.
