Caroline Kay is a Dublin-born writer, composer, and performer whose authentic voice blends Irish literary influences, contemporary musical theatre, and the storytelling sensibilities of singer‑songwriters. With a degree in English and Music and a master’s in performance from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, she has been writing and performing for much of her life. Caroline has released two EPs of original music – Notes (2017) and tricks (2019) – both of which reached number 1 in the Irish iTunes Album Charts. During the 2020 lockdown, she collaborated with West End performer David Hunter to write, produce, and star in the musical short The Space Between. Her original musical Daisy (for which she has written book, music, and lyrics) received two workshop productions in 2021 and continues in development. Caroline is currently writing the music and lyrics for Elephant Shoes, a ground-breaking new musical premiering in 2026 as a co‑production between Two River Theater and Deaf West Theatre.
“[Her songs] have sent shivers down the arms of many people... In short she's seriously talented” - THE IRISH EXAMINER
“[…] the score is glorious. The sophisticated but tasteful compositions provide Hunter and Kay with the perfect accompaniment for their West End-honed voices […]. The final song is a classic musical theatre duet as touching as any you have seen, despite featuring only a piano, a cello, and two characters you have known for less than a quarter of an hour.” ★★★★★ - MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW
“The three songs which make up The Space Between sound like they have been lifted directly from a West End stage” ★★★★★ - THEATRE WEEKLY
