Noël Irick

Noël Irick, dancer, singer, actress, teacher, choreographer, director, producer Noël Irick quietly took her final bow on January 4th, 2026 after a 2 ½ year battle with lung cancer. Her husband of 38 years, Peter J. Hill and several members of her theater ’family’ were by her side.
Noël was born and raised in Vincentown, New Jersey, and moved to Phoenix in 1966, where she lived the life of a 60’s wild child, Go-Go dancing, singing, and even sky diving, before joining the Valley theater community.
Hundreds of plays and musicals at theaters around the Valley have enjoyed Noël’s talents, and the ariZoni Awards for Theatrical Excellence awarded her more ‘Best Chore-ography’ trophies than any other individual.
She was also honored with the ariZoni Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
Noël is survived by her husband, Peter J. Hill, her sisters Duffy and Alicia, her brothers Bill and Christopher, sister-in-law Nadine, her ‘favorite’ niece Jeannie Michele, and literally hundreds of actors, singers, dancers and students whose lives were permanently changed for the better by meeting and working with the incredible dynamo. ‘Toi, toi, toi’, ‘merde’ and ‘break a leg’, Noël.
