Allie Trimm is an American actress and singer. She originated the role of Patrice in the musical 13 on Broadway. Her other work on the Broadway stage includes playing Glinda in Wicked.

Early life

[edit]

Trimm grew up in San Diego, California. At age nine, she began performing in professional theatre.[1]

Career

[edit]

As a teenager, Trimm made her Broadway debut in Jason Robert Brown's 13, originating the role of Patrice.[2] Afterwards, she performed as Kim MacAfee in the Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie.[3]

In 2010, Trimm read for the part of Hannah in two public staged readings of the musical Allegiance.[4] Two years later, she reprised that role in the musical's world premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego.[5] She was replaced by Katie Rose Clarke in the show's move to Broadway. Trimm then attended Stanford University before taking an absence of leave to return to the stage [6] as Éponine in the Lamb's Players Theatre's production of Les Misérables.[7]

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Trimm was set to premiere the role of Little Mermaid in the Broadway-bound production of Once Upon a One More Time, a jukebox musical featuring music by Britney Spears.[8][9]

In late 2021, Trimm became the official standby for the role of Glinda in the Broadway production of Wicked, making her debut on December 25, 2021. She left the production in 2024 before returning on March 4, 2025, this time playing Glinda full-time alongside Lencia Kebede as Elphaba.[10]
