Crystal Franklin

Hey good people! Crystal L.Franklin here. I'm just a Gary, IN girl born and bred, with CHItown Musical Theater roots, always in a New York state of mind. I'm a licensed hairstylist/Freelance makeup artist with 30 plus years in the game. Dancing, singing and acting my way to that big stage... Broadway! I've been doing musical theater in Chicago since the fall of 2010 to the present. In 2013, I was a part of the Ain't Misbehavin' cast nominated for Best Ensemble in a production! Commercials and TV are on my radar as well as movies! I've honed my presentation skills from being a celebrity hairstylist/technical hair consultant and former platform artist for MIZANI USA! Choreographing and coaching dance teams, dance symposiums and stage productions has also helped develop my my skill set. Ok, so back to Broadway, in February of 2020, I took a leap of faith and made the big jump to NY. Things were looking up! (ONE MONTH AND 2 WEEKS LATERRR...) The LOCKDOWN. The corona virus was upon us. A tough time for us all. Artists got hit really hard and I am a whole entire artist in these streets! Despite the trials, many personal losses, valleys and strains I STILL thank God! I'm still here and ready to put in work. It's been beyond challenging yet quitting is not an option! My work ethic speaks for itself. Regrouping and getting back in is the only way for me!
