"....Sensationally well choreographed"
-RC Reader, for Young Frankenstein
Rebecca Frazier is an NYC based director, choreographer and teaching artist.
Rebecca creates choreography for musicals-movement that is purposeful, authentic to story and character, and often steeped in historical research and accuracy. Her choreographic lens-"who are these people, and why do they move?" serves to create musical theater dance to aid, not hinder, storytelling advancement. Rebecca focuses on visual impact within her staging and choreography, utilizing the entire space to inform the world, while also building character and actor driven movement-a character's movement quality and ability directly informs the direction of the show.
Most recently, Rebecca choreographed Shout! The Mod Musical at Florida Repertory Theatre.
Rebecca's choreography was featured at Sierra Repertory Theatre in Sh-Boom! A Christmas Miracle, the world premiere of Roger Bean's new musical. She also choreographed R+H Cinderella and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer at Sierra Rep.

Other choreography credits include Once Upon a Mattress, The Wizard of Oz, and Lucky Stiff.
As a director, Rebecca leads teams with precision, grace, and a holistic approach, including and intergrating storytelling in the room and technical theater aspects. Rebecca has a BA in Technical Theater and English and a Master's Degree in Secondary Education from the State of New York.
