About
De'Adre Imani Aziza is an African-American actress and singer originally from Teaneck, New Jersey, whose Broadway career has spanned from 2008 to 2025.
Aziza's formal training began early and was extensive. She studied at the Harlem School of the Arts for eleven years and at the Dance Theater of Harlem for four years before going on to attend the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Her mother, Donna L. Avery, is a retired part-time assistant professor and textiles specialist at Parsons The New School for Design.
Her Broadway debut came with Passing Strange, for which she received both a Theatre World Award in 2008 and a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. In that production, Aziza portrayed three distinct characters: Edwina Williams, described as a teenage goddess; Marianna, a Dutch neo-hippie; and Sudabey, a German revolutionary and filmmaker. She subsequently returned to Broadway in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and A Night with Janis Joplin. Her most recent Broadway credit is Redwood, which ran in 2025.
