Singer. Dancer. Actor. Choreographer.
Hi, I'm
Hailie!
My name is Hailie (she/her) and I'm a performer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan! This is a magical industry to be a part of, and I love every aspect of it. Nothing compares to the beautiful thrill of getting onstage and taking people’s breath away, and that’s exactly what I seek to do each time I perform.
I grew up with a mildly severe stutter, and my speech therapist took me to my very first musical,
Fiddler on the Roof. Since that night, I was immediately hooked! Creating characters and singing onstage was not only fun, but quickly became a unique form of speech therapy for me. As a result, it greatly improved my fluency and made me an incredibly strong communicator and performer!
Offstage, I love second-hand fashion, editing video content, talking about my favorite Disney films, and exploring someplace new with my partner. I also love making music with my band, The Villainess! Please get in touch through my contact box for more information!

“Hailie MacKay delivers a powerhouse performance as Yitzhak”
- BroadwayWorld Palm Springs, Gillian Blum
“Particularly notable is Hailie MacKay as Yitzhak, who brings an understated yet powerful presence to the stage… [Jordon and Hailie’s] vocals together are stunning, and the dynamic between the two only deepens as the show progresses.”
