Madison's on-screen work is prominently featured in the HBO Max limited series FULL CIRCLE, directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh, and the Colombia Pictures feature film NO HARD FEELINGS.
On stage, Madison received the 2024 Berkshire Theatre Critics Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Musical for her performance as Natalie in Next to Normal (Barrington Stage Company), triumphing over a category of acclaimed Broadway veterans.
Demonstrating her technical versatility, she played the iconic role of Dionne (originated by Stacey Dash in the cult classic film) in the UK premiere of Clueless The Musical (Trafalgar Entertainment) in London, laying the foundation for its eventual West End production. She then immediately returned to the US to play the role of Promise Keeper Girl Keke in the world premiere of the new musical Teeth (Playwright's Horizon, New World Stages), directed by Sarah Benson with music by Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs.
Her reputation as an exceptional sight-reader and musician makes her a sought-after collaborator for high-profile development work, including readings and workshops of:
NANCY DREW MUSICAL (Bess Marvin), collaborating with Pulitzer and Tony Award Winner James Lapine and Oscar-winning Disney composer Alan Menken.
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS (Laneesha), based on the Will Smith film, with Apollo Theater Executive Producer Kamilah Forbes and composer Siedah Garrett (Grammy-winning writer for Michael Jackson).
TLC: CRAZY SEXY COOL (Ensemble/Left-Eye U/S), based on the life of the iconic music group, directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah (Former Artistic Director of the Young Vic).
A highly accomplished professional violinist, she has earned places in national competitions, which have led to performances at Carnegie Hall. She was honored with the highly selective, district-appointed role of Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Violin Coach, and previously held the title of Concert Master. Her elite performance background includes serving as the 2nd Violin Section Leader at Spivey Hall Honor Orchestra alongside peers who have gone on to work in esteemed professional settings like NPR's Tiny Desk.
Madison is a distinguished alumna of The University of Michigan's B.F.A. Musical Theatre program, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Her academic excellence was further recognized with multiple university honors, including the prestigious Dean's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award nomination. Adept in choreography and production oversight, Madison brings a 360-degree skillset to every creative endeavor.
