New York Welsh

Chloe Wilson is an actor and singer from the Rhondda. An accomplished soprano, she learned her craft in the choral traditions of the valleys. At 18 she auditioned for and was accepted in to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and — on completion of her studies — she was invited to stay on and join the Academy’s Company for 2018/19. Chloe recently performed in her first off-Broadway musical in New York, Ablaze, an a Capella “musical thriller” at The New Ohio Theatre. Richard and Gideon caught up with Chloe the day after closing night to talk about her experience in the show, what it’s like to be a young actor starting out in the Big Apple, and how some Welsh solidarity gave her the resources she needed to follow her dreams.
