Oh, hello!
I’m Connor.
I’m a Texan-turned-New Yorker and triple threat as a result of ADHD and watching countless Golden Age musicals with my grandma. I was hooked on musical threate after my first dance recital.
I specialize in classic triple threat roles from the days of Donna and Gwen, but my classical music background opens me up to the world of Golden Age.
Some fun facts about me…
My first childhood hero was Selena (rest in peace, Queen).
I studied opera from ages 13-20 and somehow still had friends at school.
In my next life, I’d like to come back as one of Beyonce’s backup dancers.
My niece and nephew call me “Coco”- and that is my favorite role in life.
Those who’ve worked with me have said…

Cassie in A Chorus Line, Short North Stage:
“Connor Lyon captures the friction, fear and drive of Cassie, a once promising star trying to fit into the chorus. Her spat with Zach, a former lover now estranged, and his treatment of her in the subsequent dance number are brutal to watch but powerful to experience.”

Martha Jefferson, 1776, National Tour
“Tieisha Thomas as Abigail Adams and Connor Lyon as Martha Jefferson are inspiring as the only two female characters in what is otherwise a gentleman's club. Lyon's Martha Jefferson isn't the biggest role in the show, if you will, but her command of the stage in the role was very impactful. Her rendition of "He Plays the Violin" gave reason for it being the final song of the first act. Simply put, it was beautiful.”

“Other standouts in the cast include Connor Lyon as Martha Jefferson whose lilting rendition of “He Plays the Violin” perfectly expresses the joy of young love.”

Martha Jefferson, 1776, National Tour
“We also get one of the real standouts of the production with ‘He Plays the Violin’ from his wife Martha — played by Connor Lyon, who also plays Dr. Lyman Hall of Georgia, and who blows the roof off the building with her impressive pipes.”

Martha Jefferson, 1776, National Tour
“Lyon’s Martha Jefferson is both winsome and wild, full of taboo expressions (which you can hear echoed in her dual portrayal as Dr. Lyman Hall of Georgia, though with tempered intelligence and reservation) and lively, even when she’s dismissing Franklin and Adams.”
