Alexandra Silber, a talented actress, was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, by her loving parents. She spent her childhood attending the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp, where she honed her acting skills. She later enrolled in the Interlochen Arts Academy for most of her high school career.
After graduating, Silber chose to further her education at the Royal Scottish Academy in Glasgow. Before she even officially graduated, she was given the coveted role of Anne in the West End production of "Woman in White", becoming an instant West End star. She went on to star in the West End revival of "Fiddler on the Roof" as Hodel and then another year starring in the West End revival of "Carousel" as Julie Jordan, a critically acclaimed performance, for which she won an award as debut artist on the West End.
After nearly a decade living abroad, Silber decided to move back to the US, making New York her new home.

It was later remounted at the Friedman Theater, giving Silber her Broadway debut. Since then, she has starred in Fiddler on the Roof, this time as Tzeitel.
