Rachel Lindsey Potter (born August 21, 1984) is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. She made her broadway debut in 2011 as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family, and in 2012, appeared as The Mistress in the Broadway revival of Evita. Potter released her debut EP entitled Live the Dream in 2012, and her first full-length album "Not So Black and White" in March 2015. She is also a member of the country trio "Steel Union" along with Donny Fallgatter and Josh Matheny.
Potter was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but was raised in Seminole, Florida.
Potter has lived in Orlando, Florida but currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee. At the age of 12, Rachel began writing original songs to cope with her mother being diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. While working at Disney World, she also completed a bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Advertising from the University of Central Florida in 2008. After graduating from college she moved to New York where she got a job singing in a wedding band.
In 2003, Potter moved to Orlando, Florida.
Following a friend's suggestion, she auditioned for a singing job at Walt Disney World. Having never been to a theatrical audition before, Rachel came with a headshot (a picture of her singing into a microphone) and a resume with details of her tenure as an employee at the GAP.
Potter was cast as Ariel in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid. She subsequently went on to perform as Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Nemo in Finding Nemo: The Musical, and a slew of other shows at Disney. In 2008, she made it in the Top 15 in the MTV reality show Legally Blonde: The Musical – The Search for Elle Woods.
