Shelby Griswold

Shelby Griswold is a multi-hyphenated performer and artist based out of New York City. Currently, she is touring the country with the first national tour of &Juliet the musical as Lucy, understudying Anne and Angelique. Prior to hitting the road, Shelby made her off-broadway debut as a swing in CATS: The Jellicle Ball at PAC NYC and sailed the seas in Six The Musical as Jane Seymour with Norwegian Cruise Lines. She earned a Bachelor of Music from Baldwin Wallace University with a Minor in Marketing but then immediately graduated into a pandemic in 2020. The shutdown allowed Shelby to explore other skills so that when she’s not performing she works full-time as a photographer, social media manager, and brand consultant. All of Shelby’s work comes home to connecting with the audience whether it’s on stage or through a camera and she looks forward to doing just that for a long time!
