CAA与《西区故事》明星阿里安娜·德博斯签约

CAA has signed “West Side Story”’s Ariana DeBose, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

DeBose will step into Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno’s dancing shoes as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated reimagining of the classic musical.

Last year, DeBose received Tony and Drama League nominations and won the Chita Rivera Award for “outstanding female dancer in a Broadway show” for her portrayal* of Disco Donna in “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.”

As the iconic singer in mid-career, DeBose was “both nervy* and vulnerable*,” critic Deborah Wilker wrote in THR’s review. DeBose has come a long away since her screen debut as a top-20 finalist on Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” a decade ago.

She was a member of the “Hamilton” original Broadway cast, and her other credits on the Great White Way include “A Bronx Tale: The Musical,” “Pippin,” “Motown: The Musical” and “Bring It On: The Musical.”

Next up, she will join Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Kerry Washington, Awkwafina and more in Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of the Broadway musical “The Prom,” which is set to premiere in fall 2020 on Netflix.
