A frequent concert soloist, Gonzalez has performed with renowned symphony orchestras such as the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, Boston Pops, the National Symphony Orchestra, and others around the world.

Mandy Gonzalez is an accomplished film, TV, stage actor and author.

She is a survivor, thriver, and exudes positivity. Mandy’s passion for theatre began at the age of 15 when she attended a musical theatre camp with teachers like Ann Reinking, Treat Williams and Gregory Hines. At 19, she left college to go on tour with Bette Midler as a backup singer before moving to NYC to pursue her Broadway dreams.

Her first Broadway role was in “Aida.” Gonzalez then brought her talent to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s, “In the Heights,” where she originated the role of Nina Rosario in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, where she received a Drama Desk Award. As a proud Latina-American, the story of Nina resonated deeply.

Gonzalez then soared as Elphaba in “Wicked” and left an indelible mark in the megahit “Hamilton,” where she starred as Angelica Schuyler for 6 years. She received an OBIE Award and overwhelming critical praise for her performance in the Off-Broadway production of “Eli’s Comin’.”

At the beginning of 2020, Gonzalez was diagnosed with breast cancer and battled the disease doing chemotherapy while still performing 8 shows a week in Hamilton. Her fight persisted through the pandemic which included remote schooling for her daughter as well as continuing chemotherapy alone due to visitor restrictions. In July 2020 she got to ring the “cancer-free” bell.

Television viewers have had the pleasure of seeing Gonzalez in her recurring roles in the hit series “Madam Secretary,” “BULL,” “Quantico,” and alongside Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez in “Only Murders in the Building.” Equally at home on the big screen, Mandy has 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.”

Gonzalez 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, she founded #FearlessSquad—a social media movement for inclusiveness and positivity. She is 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.

Gonzalez 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.

When she’s not on stage, on set, or traveling, Mandy resides in New Jersey with her husband, daughter and two dogs!
