Brianna
Stoute
Nicola

Brianna Stoute is originally from Freehold, New Jersey and a graduate of the University of Michigan’s musical theatre program. She first found her love for theatre when she performed in Once on this Island in middle school and from then on she never stopped loving performing! She was selected to attend the Freehold Performing Arts Center at Howell High School in NJ, which strengthened her passion to tell stories, and educate and inspire others through theater.

One of Brianna’s biggest inspirations is Patina Miller. Brianna didn’t grow up seeing a lot of people of color on stage in leading roles, but when she saw Patina as the leading player in Pippin her dream started to become more and more of a reality. She hopes to inspire young girls of color like herself, so they know they can one day be a leading lady in a show.  

She is extremely excited to be making her Off-Broadway debut as Nicola in Kinky Boots! And most importantly she’s so thankful for her family and friends for all the love and support they have given her throughout the years.
