Laura Heywood is a multi-faceted performer, pundit, writer, and host, known primarily for her expertise and passion for Broadway. Her alter-ego, @BroadwayGirlNYC, is the most-followed independent theatre account on Twitter. An avid fan throughout her life, Laura created the Twitter account @BroadwayGirlNYC in 2009 to document her love of Broadway. Though anonymous, she soon became a critical tastemaker and important advocate for all things New York theatre. Laura's reveal as the force behind @BroadwayGirlNYC came in February of 2015, when she was invited to speak onstage at TEDxBroadway. The speech became a public "merging of her two lives," leading to appearances on CBS News; hosting a high-profile live event on AOL; selling out a show at 54 Below; and a profile by Forbes, who called her "the most vocal and visible supporter in the business."

Laura works as a social media consultant for theatre companies and businesses looking to reach the Broadway fan audience; hosts workshops and offers private coaching for performers looking to raise their social media profiles; writes for theatre-themed publications including BroadwayWorld and Playbill; and is in high demand to cover Broadway news, contribute expert commentary, and host interviews both on-camera and on-stage. Originally from Oakland, CA, Laura began as a performer, working as commercial actor and print model as a young teenager, appearing in campaigns for Nintendo, Apple Computers, Constellation Brands, GTE Mobile Net, and the infamous Dove Campaign For Real Beauty. Following college at the University of Puget Sound in Washington, where she studied Theatre Arts and writing, Laura immediately launched a decade-long career in radio broadcasting, achieving success both on-air and behind the scenes, culminating in 5 years as Director of Talent & Industry Relations at Sirius XM.
