Michael Di Leo (He/Him/His) is an Italian-American actor, singer, and dancer, born & raised in Rome, Italy, relocated to Boston, MA, and now based out of NYC!

​

​He recently graduated from Syracuse University, where he received his B.F.A. in Musical Theater. GO ORANGE!

​​

From dressing up in pink tutus to trying on every pair of heels in his mom's closet, Michael was evidently different from the rest of the family growing up.

​

It was no secret that Michael had a few queer bones in his body. So when he found theater & dance, it provided him with the platform to begin discovering his identity and his true form of self-expression. Once he entered his college years, that's where he began to flourish. 

​

Syracuse Drama gave Michael the platform to continue discovering his place in the world. It's where he found his chosen family, danced in heels for the first time, and realized the type of artist he wanted to become. Michael deeply values the sliding scale of his profession. From exaggerated theatrics to living in one's undeniable truth. He believes that an artist's humanity is the key to the soul, and relinquishing any type of control is where the human behind the artist thrives.

​

​Outside of the theater, Michael is on a journey towards nurturing his hobbies. He enjoys quality time with his family & friends, cooking, hot yoga, the art of noticing, shopping on Depop, indulging in queer media, and playing way too many rounds of candy crush.​​
