Early life


St. Louis was born in London. She began her vocal training from the age of seven. She said to have been inspired to pursue musical theatre by her Grandma, with whom she would watch old-style MGM musicals, "learn all the words and sing and dance around the house".
She left school at sixteen to pursue the performing arts. She trained at Laine Theatre Arts, graduating in 2012 and was cast in Ragtime halfway through her final year.




Stage career


St. Louis had her career breakthrough during her last year of Musical Theatre school in 2012, being cast in the ensemble of Ragtime.
After this she was cast as first cover Nabalungi in The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre.
In 2021 she became the first black actress to ever portray the lead role of Christine Daaé, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. For this portrayal she was nominated as Best Female Actor in a Musical at the Black British Theatre Awards.
St. Louis was announced as the new Glinda in Wicked in London starting from March 2023. She played the role alongside Alexia Khadime as Elphaba, making this the first instance where both leading roles were played by two actors of color.
In 2023, St. Louis joined a star-studded cast for My Favourite Things, the 80th Anniversary Concert of Rodgers and Hammerstein at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
