Bridget Walsh (3rd National Tour)
Update: On Saturday May 3rd Bridget Walsh died suddenly while having the time of her life with “her girls” in Andalusia, AL.
Even at a young age she strived to be the best. Always showing off her talents at family functions. As a child she would organize a show and finish with her standard “ Ta-da”. She took dance class and joined American Children’s Theatre at age 8. Along side her mother Sandy O’Neil she gave so much heart and soul to the theatre on stage and behind the scenes. She performed in various shows in the chorus until there was a need for the lead in “Oliver”. Because she was young and had a raspy voice she fought to get the opportunity for the lead role. After a phenomenal performance she wanted more! Not long after she went to NYC alongside Michael Davids for a cattle call audition for the lead in “Annie”. Our girl was selected for the title role in the 3rd National Tour where she was whisked off for 18 months singing her heart out around the country. She made her family and friends so proud! It was such an amazing opportunity and one she held so dear for her entire life.
Bridget had a way of making anyone who knew her feel special and heard whether she’d known you for a minute or a lifetime.
Bridget is a proud mother and accomplished professional. She dug up her New England roots and moved to Alabama in early 2020 for professional growth opportunities, and the chance to move closer to her son Ian and his wife Sam.
She thrives on facing challenges, creating innovative solutions and meaningful contributions as a senior leader in a Fortune 500 company. She can still be heard belting out a occasional tune and spends her free time with friends and family, enjoying a glass of wine, a good conversation, and a hearty laugh.
