Mandy Gonzalez is an accomplished film, TV, stage actor. Her Broadway debut was in the musical Aida. Then Mandy brought her talent to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s, In the Heights, where she originated the role of Nina Rosario in the Tony Award-winning show on Broadway, where she received a Drama Desk Award. As a proud Latina-American, the story of Nina resonated deeply. Mandy then soared as Elphaba in Wicked and left an indelible mark in the megahit Hamilton, where she starred as Angelica Schuyler for 6 years. Mandy garnered an OBIE Award for her performance in the Off-Broadway production of Eli’s Comin’. Mandy has been seen in recurring TV roles on such shows as Madam Secretary, BULL, Quantico, Only Murders in the Building. On the big screen, Mandy appeared in Across the Universe, Man on a Ledge, and she can be heard as the voices of Mei in Disney’s Mulan 2 and Mother Rose on Disney series Alice’s Wonderland Bakery. Mandy has performed with the New York Pops, Boston Pops, The National Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra to name a few. Mandy released her debut album FEARLESS, with Warner Music East/West, which debuted in the top 20 of iTunes pop charts. In her quest to create positive change, Mandy is the proud founder of #FearlessSquad—a social media movement for inclusiveness and positivity. Mandy is also an accomplished author who recently published her Young Adult series, FEARLESS -- a 4-book middle-grade series that follows young thespians whose brushes with the supernatural teach them about theater, friendship and themselves. Mandy serves on the boards of BCRF (Breast Cancer Research Foundation) and BCEFA (Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS), where she actively promotes awareness and fundraising efforts. Mandy is fresh off her guest-starring role as Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. and headed back to Carnegie Hall with world-premiere of Everything I Know, a dynamic production that pairs Gonzalez’s powerhouse voice and emotive prowess with a full accompaniment, creating an unforgettable celebration of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s iconic works.
