About

once upon a time…

Henson Alexandra Milam was born in Raleigh, North Carolina to parents Virginia and Paul. She grew up watching Scooby Doo and playing dress up on a horse farm. Henson’s love for performing was sparked when she saw a local production of The Wizard of Oz. Flash forward 5 years later, she lands the coveted role of Munchkin in that same annual production and eventually went on to play the role of Dorothy in high school. She attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for high school and college in the BFA Drama program.

Henson moved to Orlando, Florida in 2019 and began working for the Walt Disney Company performing in shows and meet-and-greets across the Walt Disney World resort. She earned her Equity card in 2021 during the workshop for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a 3-day one-of-a-kind immersive experience, as a principal actor and stunt performer. She helped launch the project in March of 2022 with Disney and Lucas Film.

After opening Starcruiser, Henson went on to do vocalist contracts with Walt Disney World at Hocus Pocus: Villain Spelltacular as Sarah Sanderson and Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage! as Belle.

She has also been fortunate enough to travel the world with the Walt Disney Company performing as various characters in parades and shows at Disneyland Paris and Shanghai Disney Resort.

She most recently opened the new theme park, Epic Universe, with Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Henson was part of the workshop and opening cast for Le Cirque Arcanus, a Broadway-style show that immerses guests into the world of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise.
