About Alex Puette:
Born and raised in a small town outside of Cleveland, OH, Alex fell in love with performing at a very early age. He made his stage debut in the pivotal role of Frog #1 in a local youth theatre production of Narnia: The Musical. The bug had bitten and Alex continued performing and training in Cleveland. He began working professionally at the age of twelve when he was cast in Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera's production of Bye Bye Birdie, and worked at several other notable regional theatres in the area.
At the age of eighteen, Alex was accepted into University of Michigan's highly selective and prestigious musical theatre program, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. In NYC, Alex completed the two year Meisner training program at The William Esper Studio, and has studied acting with powerhouse teachers Scott Freeman, Matthew Corozine, and Andrew Stewart-Jones. He has also had the honor of studying voice with Matt Farnsworth and Mike Ruckles.
During his junior year of college, Alex got his Actors' Equity card at the St. Louis MUNY in the first regional production of The Producers, shortly followed by the first Broadway national tour of Legally Blonde upon graduating. Following Blonde, he continued to tour the country with the first national tours of Young Frankenstein and A Christmas Story.
Internationally, Alex had the honor of performing at the distinguished Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris as Riff in West Side Story. In New York City, he has performed off-Broadway at the award-winning Irish Repertory Theatre in the first revival of New Girl In Town, as well as in various workshops, readings, and festivals. After performing in Andrew Lippa's opera I Am Harvey Milk at Lincoln Center, Alex was personally selected by Lippa to participate in the out of town try out of his companion operas I Am Anne Hutchinson/I Am Harvey Milk at the Strathmore Arts Center outside of Washington, D.C., starring Kristen Chenoweth. Alex has been seen at some of the country's best regional theatres, including Kansas City Starlight, The MUNY, Ogunquit Playhouse, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Ford's Theatre (Washington, D.C.), and North Shore Music Theatre. Favorite roles regionally include Don Lockwood in Singin' in the Rain, Nick Massi in Jersey Boys, Pharaoh in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Ernst in Cabaret.
Alex currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his husband, choreographer Billy Griffin, and their dog, Archie.
