Ella Schmidtlin - “Oompa Loompa”, “Narrator”

Ella Rose Lucile Schmidtlin was born in Los Angeles, California. Performing classical ballet and singing on stage since she was little, Willy Wonka Jr. is her first musical theater performance. Her roles of "Oompa Loompa" and a "Narrator" have made her more comfortable in theater arts, and have given her a chance to practice voice projection. Ella hopes to continue performing arts in high school, whether it's dance, piano, voice, or theater. She dreams of being “Belle” in Beauty and the Beast. Ella’s life motto, and what she thinks about before going on stage is: "Before you can achieve, you must believe… in yourself." - Misty Copeland
