Listen Later

Gerianne Perez might have the hardest job on Broadway, understudying 3 out of the 5 roles in Operation Mincemeat on Broadway.  Gerianne tells us about the endurance needed to take on this show, after the marathon of performing in Six the Musical.  


Also in this show Julianna Margulies 1995 Emmy win for ER.


Gerianne Perez is a powerhouse performer known for her soaring vocals, emotional depth, and commanding stage presence. A proud New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, she has built a dynamic career spanning Broadway and several national tours.

She made her Broadway debut in the groundbreaking a cappella musical In Transit and went on to appear in Waitress, where her vocal strength and heartfelt performance left a lasting mark. Most recently, she is standing by for the tour de force role of Montagu in the U.S. premiere of the West End hit Operation Mincemeat, earning praise for her comedic brilliance and versatility in one of the most buzzed-about new musicals of the season.
Her national tour credits include VocalosityWaitress, and the original U.S. Boleyn Tour company of SIX, where she originated the role of Catherine of Aragon. Gerianne has also worked extensively in regional theatre, bringing warmth, wit, and vocal fire to both classic and contemporary roles.

An alumna of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Gerianne is also a passionate advocate for representation in the arts and a frequent collaborator on new works that spotlight bold, diverse voices. Whether leading a musical or championing new stories, she continues to be a vibrant force in american theatre.
