Antonio Cipriano (born May 13, 2000) is an American actor and singer. He originated the role of Phoenix in the stage adaptation of Jagged Little Pill.[1] He has made appearances in television series such as God Friended Me and City on a Hill.
Early life and education[]
Antonio Cipriano was raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where he attended University Liggett High School. He was involved in numerous local and school theatre productions and was a member of the Michigan Opera Theatre Children's Chorus.
Career[]
In May 2017, Cipriano won the 6th annual Sutton Foster Ovation Awards' Best Actor award for "outstanding achievement in individual artistry, vocal, dance and acting performances for a male lead in a high school musical theatre production" for his performance as Mickey McKee in Hello! My Baby.[2] As a result, he represented Michigan at the 2017 National High School Musical Theater Awards (also known as the Jimmy Awards) and placed in the top four finalists out of the thirty-six male competitors.[3][4]
In September 2021, Cipriano quit his role in ‘’Jagged Little Pill’’, after the musical’s non-binary character, Jo, was changed to cis-gender. He stated, “I have to acknowledge the harm that many trans + non-binary, and all marginalised folks, on-stage cast members and off have endured through the years … Broadway should be a safe space for everyone to create and experience art. All artists deserve to exist fully and authentically”.[5]
Personal life[]
As of June 2019, Cipriano is dating fellow Broadway star Reneé Rapp.[6]
