Lily Isaac

A year 13 student at Whkatāne High School, Lily has been performing all of her life! At just 6 years old she first took to the stage, performing the role of Molly in Theatre Whakatane’s 2015 production of ‘Annie’. Since then Lily has been in love with Musical Theatre! Soon after, she began private singing lessons with Trace Tidd, and has regularly been sitting Singing Exams, competing in Singing Competitions and performing in shows and concerts ever since.

In 2017 Lily was cast in Theatre Whakatane’s ‘Evita’. The following year she earned a Zony Best Supporting Actress nomination for her portrayal of Flounder in Stage Door’s production of ‘The Little Mermaid,. In 2019 she appeared as Marta in Theatre Whakatane’s ‘The Sound of Music’ and as Jemima in Tauranga Musical Theatre’s production of ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr’ - for which she received her second Zony nomination, this time for Best Leading Female in a Junior Production. In 2021 Lily played the title role in Stage Door's 2021 production of 'Annie Jr' before playing Summer in Theatre Whakatane's acclaimed production of ‘School of Rock’.  In 2023, as well as being cast in Tauranga Musical Theatre's award winning production of 'Matilda', Lily also attended the Junior Theatre New Zealand Festival, performing in the pilot of 'Between the Lines Jnr'. Lily was selected to be part of the 2025 Kiwi All Stars Performance Troupe who represented Aotearoa in the USA, undertaking training with Industry professionals in New York, Sacremento and LA.
