Alyssa Fox

Alyssa Joy Fox (born December 19, 1986) is an American stage actress and singer known for her roles in musical theater. She made her Broadway debut as the Elphaba standby in the musical Wicked in 2016.

Early life Fox is a Dallas, Texas native. She aspired to be a professional singer as a young child and was introduced to musical storytelling through Disney princesses. Fox developed an admiration for live performance during her youth, when she sang in her church's choir and acted in church and school musicals.

Fox played her final performance on tour on December 6, 2015, and transferred to the Broadway production as the Elphaba standby on February 2, 2016. During her first stint in the Broadway company, she stood by for Rachel Tucker and Jennifer DiNoia. She left the production on June 11, 2017.

Fox was then part of the original cast of the Broadway production of Frozen as the standby for Elsa. She stayed with the production for its entire Broadway run, from March 2018 to March 2020, when it closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She temporarily returned to the Broadway production of Wicked in October 2021, once again standing by for DiNoia, who had temporarily taken over the role of Elphaba full-time while Lindsay Pearce recovered from an injury. Fox left the production in December 2021, when Pearce recovered and DiNoia returned to the standby role. Fox then spent the next few months providing emergency cover for Elphaba, performing the role on the national tour in December 2021 and on Broadway in January 2022, before replacing DiNoia as the Elphaba standby on Broadway in July 2022, standing by for Talia Suskauer until February 2023. She played her final performance as Elphaba on March 3, 2024, and was replaced by Mary Kate Morrissey, who had stood by for Fox in both the touring and Broadway productions.

In June 2025, Fox was cast as Jenna in Theatre Raleigh's production of Waitress.
