At Nyack High School she played several leading roles, including Little Sally in *Urinetown*, Sophie in *Mamma Mia!*, and Audrey in *Little Shop of Horrors*. Her Audrey earned two 2023 awards, the Roger Rees Award and the Metropolitan High School Theater Award[2](https://www.filmifeed.com/celebs/tatum-grace-hopkins/).
Her own account credits her parents for surrounding her with dance, theater, and art from an early age; she has said she caught "the bug" in kindergarten[8](https://www.broadway.com/buzz/stars/tatum-grace-hopkins/profile/).
## Stage career
**Early Broadway credit.** IBDB records a single 2019 performance as a Special Guest replacement in *Kristin Chenoweth: For the Girls* on November 16, 2019, billed under the name Tatum Hopkins[1](https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/tatum-grace-hopkins-543611).

**The Queen of Versailles.** In July 2024 Hopkins originated the role of Jonquil in Stephen Schwartz's *The Queen of Versailles* alongside Kristin Chenoweth and [F. Murray Abraham](https://www.edgepedia.org/f-murray-abraham) at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston. Schwartz thought she would suit the role after seeing her perform in concert with Chenoweth, and director [Michael Arden](https://www.edgepedia.org/michael-arden) agreed after she auditioned while the musical was in workshop[3](https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/Tatum-Grace-Hopkins/). When the production moved to Broadway, it opened at the [St. James Theatre](https://www.edgepedia.org/st-james-theatre) on November 9, 2025, making Hopkins' Broadway debut in the same role[3](https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/Tatum-Grace-Hopkins/) • [4](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/tatum-grace-hopkins). Playbill credits her in two original roles in the show, Jonquil and Camera Crew[10](https://playbill.com/person/tatum-grace-hopkins-performer). The musical closed earlier than expected on December 21, 2025, and a Broadway cast recording followed on April 3, 2026[3](https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/Tatum-Grace-Hopkins/).
## Screen work
Hopkins' documented screen debut was *Meek*, a 2024 coming-of-age short film directed, written, and produced by Hannah Sperling, in which she played Hailey; the film ran 16 minutes and appeared at the Montclair Film Festival[6](https://www.moviefone.com/movie/meek/h19L8oivkMA6heyQZ1zjh2/credits/) • [8](https://www.broadway.com/buzz/stars/tatum-grace-hopkins/profile/).
In March 2026, Variety reported that Hopkins would play Max Caulfield opposite [Maisy Stella](https://www.edgepedia.org/maisy-stella) as Chloe Price in Prime Video's live-action *Life Is Strange* series, based on the 2015 adventure game in which a photography student discovers she can rewind time[7](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/drama-shows/life-is-strange-tv-show-from-prime-video-and-margot-robbie-has-found-its-chloe-and-max/) • [11](https://www.imdb.com/pt/name/nm16337553/news/). The series is written by Charlie Covell, who serves as showrunner and executive producer, and is produced by [Square Enix](https://www.edgepedia.org/square-enix), Amazon MGM Studios, and Story Kitchen alongside [Margot Robbie](https://www.edgepedia.org/margot-robbie)'s LuckyChap[7](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/drama-shows/life-is-strange-tv-show-from-prime-video-and-margot-robbie-has-found-its-chloe-and-max/). GamesRadar+ described the casting as Hopkins' first-ever on-screen appearance, an account that sits alongside her 2024 credit in *Meek*[7](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/drama-shows/life-is-strange-tv-show-from-prime-video-and-margot-robbie-has-found-its-chloe-and-max/); trade coverage before the announcement listed her prior credits as *Meek* and the two Broadway-adjacent productions[11](https://www.imdb.com/pt/name/nm16337553/news/).
