Hannah Hayley is a versatile, experienced, and passionate actress who has been seen on many stages across South Florida. Her most recent project was with the Off-Glades Theatre Company, where she starred as Woman 1 in "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!" at the Willow Theatre in Boca Raton, Florida. This gorgeous musical was incredibly successful in the South Florida region and was the perfect show to display Hannah's wide acting & vocal range. Hannah's next project will be in August of 2025 in Wilton Manor, Florida, in Island City Stage's production of At The Wedding as Carly. Hannah will also continue her year of service with the Miss America Organization as the current reigning Miss Palm Beach County. When Hannah isn't auditioning, rehearsing, or performing, she continues her charity work with the Princesses Against Cancer Organization & the Happy Princess Club, where she visits local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and charity events, performing as classic Disney princesses like Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, and many others.
Recently, Hannah and a team of exceptional women founded a non-profit, Read Like Royalty (RLR), a non-profit committed to improving literacy rates by inspiring children to develop a deep love for reading & learning. Our mission is to raise awareness about the challenges in our education system & the critical need for literacy improvement in our county. RLR strives to create a supportive environment where children of all backgrounds can discover the joy of learning, embrace education, cultivate confidence, and unlock their fullest potential through the power of literacy.
Reviews
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change! - Woman 1
"Each of the four has a stand-out piece that showcases their talents. For Hannah Hayley, it’s “I Will Be Loved Tonight,” a pretty tune where her high soprano is accompanied by piano and violin. It’s gorgeous.
"Hannah Hayley shines in a sketch with pizza guys ...In real life, Hayley performs as various Disney princesses, and it shows in “He Called Me,” where one can imagine her as Snow White."
Florida Theatre On Stage
"Awkward First Dates reach new heights in the musical number “A Stud and a Babe” starring Hannah Hayley as Julie, cementing her special talent for caricature that I’d first noticed in her impressive performance in The Play That Goes Wrong. (She also nails Fran Drescher’s Queens accent.)"

The Last Night of Ballyhoo - Lala Levy
"The true standouts are, in my opinion, the women....the most compelling character dynamic may be found in their daughters, Lala Levy (Hannah Hayley) and Sunny Freitag (Rachel Whittington), who gave my personal favorite performances. The two cousins couldn’t appear more different—Lala is a college dropout and Gone with the Wind devotee whose seemingly youthful, flighty demeanor often masks her insecurities of feeling inferior to Sunny; both of them have struggled with what it means to be Jewish in an environment where it would simply be easier if they were not. A core aspect of one of their arguments in their play revolves around Sunny being able to blend into society more readily due to her looks, which is somewhat ironic because of Hayley’s blond hair and blue eyes, and Worthington’s darker features.
Still, in spite of this sort of reversal, Hannah Hayley does a masterful job of making the audience feel Lala’s pain—how she feels “less than” her cousin in so many ways, how she feels like the loss of Sunny’s father, a popular man in the community, overshadowed the loss of her own, someone who was perhaps less well-known but no less special to the family. Thanks to Hayley’s and Whittington’s performances, audience members will connect with these characters throughout, from their less sympathetic moments to the ones that will undoubtedly tug on your heartstrings."

The Play That Goes Wrong - Sandra/Florence
"Charles’ flapper-esque fiancée, Florence (Hannah Hayley), gets knocked out cold accidentally and must be replaced by the stage manager who clumsily reads her part from the script. So taken by the spotlight, she refuses to give up the role when the fiancée-actress comes to, which leads to an all-out hair-pulling (or wig-pulling) brawl."
The Miami Herald
"Dressed to the Roaring Twenties nines, the original, Act 1’s femme fatale Florence – over-the-top seductively portrayed by Hannah Hayley with knockout sex appeal – owns the stage whenever she’s on. And she’s on a lot. We first find her hysterically sobbing over the corpse of her fiance Charles (Samuel Krogh), who’d not quite made it alive to their engagement party. "
South Florida Theatre Magazine
"Thomas’ sister, Florence Colleymore, is brought to the stage by Sandra (Hannah Hayley), who finds herself positively befuddled in grief as she was also Charles’ fianceé. Sandra, who is primarily the manic widow Florence, is portrayed by Hannah Hayley and is one of the show’s highlights as she shrieks in a British accent I can only describe as “Emma Stone as Sally Bowles,” adorned in a flapper dress and smokey eye makeup, being accidentally subject to some moments of physical comedy that see her become concussed from moving set pieces. Being concussed, Hayley, as Sandra, disappears for a portion of Act 1 but reappears in Act 2, absolutely furious in her wig cap, robe, and slip dress in some well-choreographed fight scenes with her “understudy.”

Grease - Sandy
"The two lead actors in the Delray production are Michael Materdomini as hot-rodder Danny Zuko, a sometimes naughty, sometimes nice kid filled with ideas and indecision, and sweet “new girl in town” Sandy Dumbrowski (Hannah Hayley), who nails that role with a loving heart that beats fast for Danny. The pair work well together, fueling a fast-paced production that has already sold out the first few shows – including opening night."
Palm Beach Arts Paper
Moon Over Buffalo - Charlotte Hay
" Hannah Hayley’s Charlotte is very beautiful, graceful, and young—a trio of assets that give her a mighty advantage. And she’s totally into the role with the character’s ever-changing, eye-catching expressions flitting across her fabulous face. I see her as a cross between the wacky Queen of Romcom’s Lucille Ball—her high-pitched hysteria was equal to Mrs. Arnaz’s—and the crisp, seductive, sophisticated, intelligent, upper-class Katherine Hepburn; she’s in perfect control of her body parts, including mouth, torso, and limbs. I watched in amazement as Hannah held herself stiff as a board, and without allowing a single quiver on her body, as she moved toward arms she couldn’t be sure would be there to catch her, but she did. She’s my nominee for this year’s future star. Go get ‘em, girl!"
