At the age of three, she watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time and was instantly hooked on the idea of being in musicals. Now, she’s a soon-to-be graduate of NYU Steinhardt with a Bachelors of Music in Musical Theater! She has performed at 54 Below, the Iris Cantor Theater, and NYU Skirball, in musicals and orchestra concerts. She especially loves the process of workshopping new shows, and seeing new stories and songs come to life.

Milena is a massive nerd, who loves geeking out about Sondheim, Chekhov, and various book series. When not on stage she enjoys hoarding books like a dragon, singing duets with her twin sister Carina, and kidnapping people to make them listen to her five hour lectures on “Sweeney Todd.”

Milena Gravante is a New York City based performer who may secretly be three muppets in a fluffy cow print coat.
