Maria is a Brooklyn based actor, singer, and dancer. She most recently worked on a workshop for The Blasters Handbook (dir. Christopher Ashley; book/music by Doug Wright & David Clement) with La Jolla Playhouse. She moved to the city at the age of 18 after attending an open call that led her to make her Broadway debut in Mrs. Doubtfire (dir. Jerry Zaks), covering the role of Lydia Hillard. She was thrilled to make her principal debut in the role of Lydia in December 2021.

“[Maria] was exceptional in the way of singing and acting. "What the Hell" featured both actors belting out what had a soulful feel halfway through the first act.” -Times Square Chronicles

“As the oldest child Lydia, Maria Dalanno, (stepping into the role for this performance,) is impressive.” -StageBuddy

She also is a recent graduate of Baruch College with a Bachelors degree in Digital Communications & Culture and a minor in Psychology. Maria is proudly represented by DGRW.
