Lucie Tassel is an artist with 10 years' experience, and a completely atypical background.
Being French, she naturally made her debut in Paris, where she is originally from. Under the direction of Ned Grujic, she played the role of Helen Sinclair in Bullets Over Broadway and was part of the On The Town and Godspell ensembles at the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris. She also played the role of Poncia in Federico García Lorca's play The House of Bernarda Alba at the Théâtre de La Nouvelle Athènes, directed by Guillaume Bouchède. She was also a member of the chorus of the symphony orchestra accompanying Joe Hisaishi on his last tour of France, and the singers of the Chœur à l'horizon, a Paris-based professional chorus specializing in the musical theatre repertoire, created and directed by Nima Santonja. In 2024, she played the lead role of Della in Sneaky Pete's Wild West Dinner Show at the Legacy Dinner Theatre in Wisconsin, USA. She is also the producer and artistic director of the A-Broad'way Cabaret, in collaboration with Kendra McBride as musical director, which opens this November at Green Room 42 in New York City, and in which she will sing alongside other international artists.
About Lucie
She is a graduate of ECM in Paris, a musical comedy school run by Ned Grujic and Véronique Fruchart, where she trained for 3 years in singing (vocal technique, polyphony, musicianship), dance (classical, jazz, tap), theater (classical, contemporary, mime, clowning) and stage combat (swords, batons). She also trained in cartoon voice-over with Edwige Chandelier. To complete her professional training, she moved to New York to study at AMDA, the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, where she benefited from American expertise, honing her skills in singing, dancing and acting.
Lucie's background is atypical in that, before devoting herself fully to the performing arts, she worked as an elementary teacher for 5 years in Paris. Attracted to the arts and sport from an early age, she practiced numerous disciplines (tennis, climbing, skiing, horse-riding, rollerblading...), quickly developing a passion for salsa and Latin dances, and obtaining a master's degree in physical and nutritional rehabilitation before becoming a teacher. Her many trips to Asia, Europe and America, but above all to Venezuela, the country she fell in love with, taught her a great deal. In addition to the fact that she is now trilingual in French, Spanish and English, these journeys have opened her heart and mind, bringing to light what she didn't dare see but secretly dreamed of: being an artist.
