Amy Orman has performed around the world in theatre, television and film. A true triple threat, she began her professional career at the age of 19 performing as a singer and dancer with Princess Cruises. After her adventures on the seas, she relocated to the US to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre at The Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University where she graduated with honours. She has also completed her Australasian Dance Association (formerly F.A.T.D) teaching and dance exams.

Her professional Chicago theatre credits include Merrily We Roll Along starring Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller, White Christmas starring Tony-nominated Sean Allan Krill, Hairspray featuring Tim Kazurinski, The Who’s Tommy, Annie, Guys and Dolls, and multiple productions of 42nd Street.

The highlight of her time in Chicago was a production of Smoky Joe’s Cafe directed by Tony-nominated Marcia Milgrom-Dodge and attended by composer Mike Stoller himself. The nine-person cast won the award for Best Ensemble at the 2016 Joseph Jefferson Awards.

Shortly after moving to NYC Amy joined the cast of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Starring the Rockettes as a singer. She performed for three seasons with the holiday favourite for over a million audience attendees.

Amy has also worked in TV & Film, Print, and Commercials with credits including Betrayal (ABC US), Wakefield (ABC Australia), Sensodyne, Weber Grill, All State Insurance, Miller Lite, and the voice of Princess Amelia in Uppercut Games' video game Epoch 2.
