ABOUT ME!
Dani Apple (she/her) was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. After getting in trouble in kindergarten for belting along to the Celine Dion CD the teacher played during nap time when the other kids were trying to sleep, Dani's parents knew they had to sign her up to audition for The Sound of Music at Cain Park. Dani was cast as Gretyl, and after the very first rehearsal, Dani knew she'd be in love with theatre for the rest of her life!
Dani is a graduate of The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, having received her BFA in Musical Theatre with an emphasis in songwriting. Some of her favorite credits include: Off-Broadway: Meydl in THE SORCERESS (NYTF) and Nicole, u/s Genevieve in THE BAKER'S WIFE (Theatre Row/J2 Spotlight). Staged Readings: Julia in ZM (Goodspeed Opera House), June in OVER HERE! (Traguna Productions), and Ensemble in POUPELLE OF CHIMNEY TOWN (LDK Productions). Regional: Ellie in FREAKY FRIDAY (Virginia Musical Theatre), Oz in WE WILL ROCK YOU (The Barn Theatre), Chava in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (The Beck Center), and Natalie in ALL SHOOK UP (Mercury Theatre Company).
In March of 2022, she appeared as The Waitress in Season 2 of FOX/Hulu's I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE, hosted by Ken Jeong. In January of 2023, she was the voice of Princess Poppy on the premiere episode of RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE Season 15. In June of 2023, she was interviewed by Mario Lopez and Jeannie Mai on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD alongside her singing dog, Clarence (the true star of her family)!
This little Apple is living in the Big Apple! She is a proud member of Actors' Equity Association and a BroadwayWorld Cabaret Awards Best Vocalist nominee. She continues pursuing her dream of reaching people by creating and performing stories to share. She is currently performing in two new musicals Off-Broadway this season: AMID FALLING WALLS (The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene) and WHITE ROSE: THE MUSICAL (Theatre Row).
