Multi-award-winning actor, singer and dancer Ariana DeBose will take to the stage of the London Palladium next spring.
Presented by Fourth Wall Live, the winner of multiple awards for her performance in Stephen Spielberg’s West Side Story will appear live in concert with musical director Benjamin Rauhala on 1 April 2023.
After competing in the sixth series of US talent show So You Think You Can Dance, DeBose headed for the stage with a number of regional productions before she made her Broadway debut in Bring It On: The Musical in 2011. Her early Broadway credits also include Motown: The Musical in 2013 and Pippin in 2014.
After originating the role of The Bullet in Hamilton (2015-2016), DeBose appeared in A Bronx Tale (2016-2017). In 2018 DeBose was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance as Disco Donna in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
DeBose’s scene-stealing performance as Anita in West Side Story earned her a BAFTA, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award and her heightened profile led to hosting the gig at the 2022 Tony Awards.
