Hannah Cruz

BIO

Hannah Cruz is a dynamic actress whose powerful performances and emotional depth have made her a rising star both on Broadway and on screen. Most recently, Hannah made her Broadway debut in the groundbreaking Tony Award-winning musical Suffs, where she starred as Inez Milholland, an American labor lawyer and socialite. The performance, which received rave reviews, earned her the Clarence Derwent Award. Hannah has been with the show since its first iteration at The Public Theater. Cruz wrapped production earlier this year on the widely buzzed-about Richard Linklater’s Netflix film Merrily We Roll Along. The film, which is one of the most ambitious cinematic projects ever attempted, will follow the actors as they age naturally with their characters. Hannah stars as Gussie alongside Paul Mescal, Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein. Hannah began her career on the national tours of Legally Blonde (Vivienne Kensington), Bullets Over Broadway (Ellen), and Hamilton (Elizabeth Schuyler), earning an IRNE Award for Best Actress. She also starred Off-Broadway at MCC Theater in Only Gold and in The Connector, which was nominated for Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Drama Desk Awards.
