Danielle is thrilled to be starring as Anita in West Side Story at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle!
“And then there is Anita, played by Danielle Marie Gonzalez, who is truly a dancing, singing and acting powerhouse. She chews up every single moment she is on the stage, to such an extent that I had to remember to pay attention to the other dancers. There were several times I teared up during the musical. These were mostly romantic moments, as I held my wife’s hand. However, a troubling confrontation between Gonzalez’s character Anita and a room full of hostile men made me tear up for a completely different reason. Gonzalez did a powerful job of making the somewhat implausible actions of her character seem believable and heart-wrenching. Sometimes the best acting is seen in an actor’s ability to make an unbelievable action seem plausible or even logical.”- The Moderate Voice
