You might not recognize Santino Fontana right away, but chances are you’ve encountered his work and voice at some point.


In 2000, Fontana came to Denison, Ia. as one of three newly graduated high school seniors. They were finalists in the prestegious Donna Reed Foundation Scholarship competition in acting. This weekend he returns to Iowa to appear with the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra.


The Tony-award-winning actor’s long resume includes Broadway and TV shows, films, audiobooks, and more. If you haven’t seen him on the stage performing as Prince Topher in the original Broadway cast of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella or as Michael Dorsey and Dorothy Michaels in Tootsie, perhaps you’ve heard him narrating the hit Netflix thriller You or seen him in TV roles in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
