Education
Lindsay was born in Rochester, New York and attended Greece Athena High School, studying under acclaimed director and teacher Judith Ranaletta, before studying at Carnegie Mellon University, where she received a BFA in Acting/Musical Theatre.
Career
In 2009, Lindsay appeared as Laura in a musical-theatre production at the Paper Mill Playhouse of Little House on the Prairie with Melissa Gilbert as Ma. The play is an adaption of the children's book of the same name by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Gilbert had originally played the role of Laura in the television series of the same name in the mid-1970s. Lindsay originated the role of Katherine Plumber in Newsies, a Disney musical revamped for stage by Harvey Fierstein. The character was the fictional love interest of protagonist Jack Kelly, but Lindsay said she drew inspiration from the real-life investigative journalist Nellie Bly.
Lindsay continued her role when Newsies moved to Broadway and played her final performance in the show on February 2, 2014. From April to November 23, 2014, Lindsay played the role of Glinda (a role she's auditioned for since 2008) in the 2nd North American Tour of Wicked. She assumed the role of Glinda on Broadway on December 16, 2014 until January 31, 2016 when she was replaced by Carrie St. Louis, who had previously replaced her on tour as Glinda. On November 1, 2016, Lindsay returned to the role of Glinda on Broadway, replacing Carrie St. Louis.
