More on Andréa:

Andréa Burns received an Outer Critics Circle Award Nomination for her portrayal of "Gloria Fajardo" in Broadway’s On Your Feet! She is a winner of a Drama Desk Award for her creation of the role of "Daniela," the saucy hairdresser in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical In The Heights.

A favorite at 54 Below Broadway Supper Club, Andréa performs her one woman show all over the world, which has been hailed by the New York Times as “ uproarious, ebullient and playful.”
