Spotlight on our Covers for “Songs For A New World” Cast Member: Hadiyyah Noelle (she/her)
Hadiyyah Noelle is an Actress, Singer, and Stand-up comedian here in Los Angeles. She’s so very excited to work on this wonderful show with this amazing group of people! “Songs for a New World” has a special place in her heart because it was the first musical she was cast in while she was in college and now she has the opportunity to explore not one but two different roles! Hadiyyah has a BFA in Acting from Florida State University and FSU London, owns her own theatre company called Run Amuck Entertainment, and has been performing theatrically all over LA for the past ten years! You can find her hanging out with the Wandkeeper and Gabbie the Cabbie at Universal Studios Hollywood and catch her very briefly as Terrine in Netflix’s “Boo, Bitch!” She hopes you sit back and enjoy this journey to a new world!

We absolutely adore our location in West Hollywood, California. Take a walk or a quick drive around WeHo before or after any of our shows to explore one of our favorite parts of Los Angeles. There are tons of queer-friendly spaces, bars (like our sponsor @mickysweho), dining, and free City events daily!
