Before directing and choreographing, Tracey was a performer who began her career at an early age. She graduated high school early to perform at DISNEYWORLD and then worked as both a rock singer and a professional dancer in LA, where she appeared in commercials, films, and live shows at Universal Studios, Disneyland, the Pantages Theater and the Hollywood Bowl. She played the iconic Hollywood rock clubs (Trubadour, Roxy, Viper Room, The Mint) with her original rock band BLUE, and toured internationally with THE PET SHOP BOYS. Her work eventually led her to Broadway, where she appeared in the original cast of THE WHO’S TOMMY and as an early replacement for the Broadway company of RENT, playing the roles of Maureen, Ms. Cohen and Alexi Darling. Tracey’s rock star dreams came true when she toured and recorded two albums with rock legend PETE TOWNSHEND, as featured vocalist and rhythm guitarist.
